A quick check of "man tcsh" finds:

"A login shell begins by executing commands from the system files
/etc/csh.cshrc and /etc/csh.login. ... Non-login shells read only
/etc/csh.cshrc and ~/.tcshrc or ~/.cshrc on startup."

I'm not a tcsh user but it looks like /etc/csh.cshrc may be what you're
looking for
