Key Dates
A Word of Caution: Dates don’t change much, but there is always a chance, so we will say that they are subject to change. A good place to double-check is to look at the Academic Calendar which is where most of these dates come from. We will also post any changes on the Parent and Family Portal (opens in a new tab) , The Citadel’s Website (opens in a new tab) and Facebook page (opens in a new tab).
