The Citadel is committed to transparency about the funds it collects and uses. The College is accountable to the students, taxpayers, sponsors, donors, and alumni it serves. Each of these groups provides critical funding necessary to meet the College’s mission-related responsibilities of teaching, research, and public service.
The financial transparency website provides the information for all tuition and fee revenue collected from students, and all expenses paid through the College’s vendor system or with state-approved procurement credit cards.
Citadel expenses include spending from restricted funds, which can be used for specific purposes, and unrestricted funds, which can be used for any allowable expenses under state and college guidelines.
The College also has auxiliary departments that receive no state funding and must generate all of their own revenue. Examples include Athletics, Barracks, Bookstore, Cadet Store, Dining Hall, Faculty/Staff Quarters, Infirmary, Laundry, and Tailor Shop.
