Sounds like you do not have permission to use the csh shell.
Are you root when you type csh?

No, I'm not a root. I'm login to my college account and I'm suppose to have access to c-shell since we are learning c-shell scripting.

Is there a way to know for sure if I don't have permissions to use the csh before I send an email to my teacher?

thanks

Sounds more like your environment doesn't have the necessary config for csh.

As a test, try running "csh -f" - which will load csh without trying to run any resource files. You should get a simple '%' as a prompt & be able use the shell like normal-ish.

If that's the case, then talk to your admin as to why you can't run csh. if that doesn't work, tell us what happened.

perhaps creating an empty file can fix the problem. as root do:

Thank you all for your responses.
My account is working OK now.
I sent an email to my teacher and he just said that he was doing some changes to the system that may be the cuase.
I don't know what it was but I'm glad I was not the one causing the problem.
Thanks you all.
