The Quartermaster Account / OneCard

The Quartermaster Account / OneCard

The College Catalog contains a brief description of the uniform, books and supplies fee in the Expenses section. This fee is commonly referred to as the Quartermaster Account and will reflect on a cadet’s student billing account as QM-One Card Restricted Funds. 

The Citadel determines the amount required for the quartermaster fee per semester. Freshman expenses will be higher than upperclassmen due to one-time expenses such as uniforms in their first year.

These funds from the assessment of the Quartermaster fee are transferred to a cadet’s QM-One Card and is designed to cover the minimal costs associated with the cadet’s purchase of books, academic supplies, uniforms, accessories, haircuts, dry cleaning and tailor shop charges. Use of these funds is restricted to items of necessity.  Cadets have an appeal option to request a one-time $500 Emergency Advance. The appeal will review the current QM-One Card balance to determine if any additional funds are needed to cover that advance up to $500 and will be charged to the cadet’s student account.

Quartermaster funds are only refundable after a cadet graduates, withdraws or placed on suspension. Funds will only be refunded after all outstanding fees are paid to The Citadel.
