The Citadel learned a lot hosting the Marine "Poolies" for the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Paris Island, for a couple of months - and made a little money. There was a large contingent of Navy Medical Corps on campus along with College staff monitoring progress of these raw recruits - mostly 18-20 year olds who spent their first 14 days in quarantine, on campus. Although they were in quarantine, they did do PT training, ate in the Mess Hall and received classes in groups while maintaining separation and good hygiene. This should help when the 700 members of the 4th Class report early August. They will be essentially quarantined with the Cadre in separate barracks from the upper class cadets while they undergo a month or two of training as well as start classes separate from the upper classes. As I understand the protocol, mostly 4th Class will attend class, while upper class cadets will take a mix of on-line and where necessary lab classes on a rotation basis.
The non-military students who attend The Citadel are all in the Night School Programs for Graduate or undergraduates, or on-line students, so they are never on campus with cadets in normal times. My guess is these Night School students will take on-line courses, unless they need to take a lab class at night - again on a rotational basis to maintain separation and hygiene. There are a few active duty Marines (MECEPS) - about 40 in all four classes, and active duty Navy - about 20 in all four classes, and 70 veteran students. My guess is these few students will be dealt with the same as upper class cadets - mostly on-line courses unless they need to do a lab. My assumption is the active duty military who are typically E-5,6 and 7, and veterans will be disciplined enough to follow protocols. See:
The Citadel stated, shortly after Marines began quarantining on campus in May, that they planned to host in-person classes for the 2020-21 school year. The school received a $3 million
