Technology Requirements
The Citadel School of Engineering has the same general computer/system requirements as outline by our Information & Technology Services (ITS) team.
- Minimum System Requirements
- NO CHROME BOOKS!!!
To view a list of recommended computer configurations that are available for purchase through The Citadel, please visit http://www.citadel.edu/root/computer-recommendations or http://www.dell.com/citadel.
If you have additional questions, such as “PC vs Apple”, or “What if I have an Apple”, please go to ITS’ FAQ page at http://www.citadel.edu/root/computer-recommendations/computer-faq
Please note that while The Citadel School of Engineering does not have system requirements beyond the minimum, there is a configuration available for purchase through The Citadel that is recommended for Engineering students. This recommended configuration will provide above average computing capabilities for some of the programs and technologies used by our different programs. Again, this is only a recommendation and not a requirement.

Eligibility for Services
Currently enrolled Citadel undergraduate and graduate students are eligible for counseling services at the Citadel Counseling Center. We are not able to provide video counseling or tele-counseling to enrolled students participating in study abroad programs or enrolled in on-line classes if the student is unable to attend appointments at the Counseling Center. Instead, the Citadel Counseling Center staff can provide a telephone consultation with the student and offer off campus referrals in the student’s community.
Appointments
Counseling Services are provided in person at the Citadel Counseling Center. Students may schedule a first-time intake appointment during office hours by calling our office at 843-953-4827 or visiting our office at 9 Hammond Avenue (Mary Bennett Murray Infirmary). Subsequent appointments may be scheduled at the conclusion of each appointment, or by telephone.
Individual counseling sessions are 50 minutes in length. If services are not available to meet the student’s particular needs, an appropriate referral will be provided.
Confidentiality
In a counseling relationship, feelings of trust are critical. Therefore, counselors maintain confidentiality in compliance with state laws and national ethical standards for psychologists and counselors. The information below provides details about the confidentiality policy of our Center.
All communications between client and therapist will be held in confidence and will not be revealed to anyone outside the Counseling Center unless the client provides written authorization to release information. However, there are legal and ethical exceptions to confidentiality which require that the therapist take responsible action.
These exceptions apply:
- When there is a clear and substantial risk of imminent serious harm to the client or another person. In these circumstances, counselors are legally required to take action to protect life.
- In the case of child abuse or abuse of a mentally retarded or developmentally disabled adult. In these cases, counselors are legally required to report the abuse to Child or Adult Protective Services.
- In the event of a court order for information.
Emergency Services
In the event of an emergency, the cadets should communicate clearly to the secretary his/her needs and that he/she wants to see a counselor immediately.
After office hours, cadets can go to the Infirmary and request to speak with a counselor. The Infirmary staff will contact a counselor as needed. Alternatively, students may call 911, go to a hospital emergency room, or call Citadel Public Safety at 843-953-5114. Expenses incurred off-campus for treatment are the student’s responsibility.
Fees
Short-term counseling services are free to all students currently enrolled at The Citadel. If a counselor recommends that a student seek long-term psychotherapy services, a psychiatric evaluation, or other specialized mental health services with an off campus professional, the student is responsible for the payment for these off-campus services.
Referral Services For Students
If a student’s counseling needs extend beyond the scope of the Counseling Center’s short-term counseling model, the student will be referred to off-campus counseling resources. The Citadel Counseling Center staff can offer recommendations for off-campus mental health professionals if a student needs services which are not offered at The Citadel Counseling Center. Referral services for long-term psychotherapy, psychiatric evaluations, or other specialized services are provided as needed. Expenses incurred off campus for psychological services are the student’s responsibility.

Health fees and Insurance
Cadets pay a mandatory health fee, which covers professional medical services at The Citadel Infirmary. Visits to all clinics are free for cadets. Additional fees are assessed for medications, immunizations, lab tests, EKGs, x-rays, orthopedic equipment and supplies. Medications are provided at cost, using generic medications purchased under a state contract. X-rays and EKGs are provided at substantially lower cost than in the local community.

Where is the Help Center?

What should I do before I call the Help Center?
Please be at your computer and have time to work on the problem when you call. It is much easier to troubleshoot a problem over the phone when you are at your computer, and have time to help us perform some diagnostic tests.
