The President’s List is one of the most distinguished cadet awards presented by The Citadel. It indicates excellence in academics and military duties.

Gold stars are awarded to cadets and students who have earned a grade point ratio of 3.7 or higher. Cadets receive their stars at a special awards parade.

The dean’s list recognizes cadets and students who are registered for 12 or more semester hours and whose grade point average is 3.20 or higher.
