Student Affairs Most Commonly Asked Questions
Can my parents have access to my academic records?
Your parents can access your academic records only if you permit them by filling out, signing, and submitting a FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) form to the Registrar’s office. Students have to voluntarily authorize The Citadel to release the information. The FERPA form is on the Registrar’s website at https://web.citadel.edu/root/images/registrar/forms/ferpa.pdf.
As a student, is it possible to attend classes virtually?
Online courses are only an option for students if offered through the registrar’s office, or if students are given special permission by The Citadel administration.
How can faculty, staff, or a student report a concern for a student’s well-being?
Faculty, staff, and students can submit a Wellness Check Referral to the Student Affairs office to voluntarily report “red flag behaviors” that may raise concerns or report incidents of a student’s inappropriate behavior at The Citadel. An incident, in this context, is an event that does not warrant immediate intervention. In the event of an emergency that requires immediate intervention, call Public Safety at 843.953.5114 or 911. Wellness Checks are responded to immediately by our staff in the Student Affairs office.
How do I retrieve my personal belongings if I have withdrawn or received a voluntary medical discharge?
A student who has withdrawn or received a voluntary medical discharge from The Citadel can retrieve their personal belongings by making arrangements with their TAC officer. The student must be escorted by their TAC officer when they are on campus.
