Parking Permits

A valid Marshall University parking permit is required in most areas during enforcement hours (excluding metered spaces, the pay lot, and the Sixth Avenue Parking Garage). Please note:

  • A permit does not guarantee a space—only the opportunity to park in a designated area.
  • Lack of available parking does not excuse violations.
  • The university is not liable for loss or damage to vehicles or contents while parked on campus.
