The Citadel Clubs and Organizations
The Campus Club Coordinator (CCC) is responsible for the annual process of chartering and supervision of all official Citadel clubs and organizations. Participation in campus clubs and organizations allows students to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities and are an important part of The Citadel’s leadership development process.
FORMING A CLUB OR ORGANIZATION: Any group interested in chartering a club or organization on the Citadel campus must review the most recent versions of The White Book, Chapter 4-Cadet Services Section 1-Cadet Activities and the Club Advisor Handbook before entering any information to the Annual Club Charter form. Any club or organization that does not submit the requested forms in full by the deadline (1 October, 2023) will not be recognized as an official Citadel club and therefore not allowed to raise funds or hold meetings as an official club until the following academic year. All club and organization questions should be directed to the CCC, Shelton Milner at (843) 953-4875.
