As The Citadel moves forward with Operation Fall Return 2020, an agile, conditions-based plan to return cadets and students to face-to-face instruction, college leadership is communicating regularly to keep all constituents informed.

We are taking a multi-layered and generously resourced approach that provides ongoing, carefully mapped out cleaning and disinfection to keep our campus as safe as possible.

Classrooms at The Citadel are now equipped with new technology called Swivl that helps brings the in-class experience to virtual learning via Zoom.

This description of the plan related to academic operations is broken into two sections — Healthy Environments and Healthy Operations.

The first 55 cadet-recruits of the Class of 2024 are receiving the first stage of their Citadel education after reporting to campus on July 29.

The Citadel will update the number of cases daily, every Monday – Friday, on the COVID-19 Case Tracker located at the top of the special COVID-19 webpage.

The Commandant of Cadets, Capt. Geno Paluso, USN (Ret.), issued new guidance for the South Carolina Corps of Cadets during the COVID-19 environment.

Members of the athletic cadre returned to campus early to get special instruction on to train the incoming cadet-athlete recruits.

The Citadel President Gen. Walters, Provost Dr. Selden, and Commandant of Cadets Capt. Paluso, led a virtual town hall meeting to discuss Matriculation Day.

Due to the spread and unpredictable nature of COVID-19, Citadel leadership has made the decision to suspend all fall 2020 study abroad programming.
