Your Citadel journey starts on Matriculation Day. It’s the day you move into the barracks and start developing a lifelong bond with your classmates. You should expect to arrive early and have a busy day transitioning to your new life as a cadet. Members of the Citadel Family Association will assist in unloading your car and getting your bags to your room after you check in to your company. Once all members of the Class of 2026 are checked in, you will begin your formal introduction into the Corps of Cadets and parents will be asked to join the President of The Citadel and his staff in for an overview of the 4th class system. Your knob year will have officially begun.
