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 , The Citadel’s Website and Facebook page.
