If you are planning to host an event or activity on campus, please contact our office to setup any of the following event parking arrangements:

  • Request Parking Validations – Any activity that requires the visitor to park on campus during the regular university business week may use the 6th Avenue parking facility that charges by the hour. The cost is 50 cents per hour, and it is cash only. The department planning the event/visit may be issued parking validations, by the Parking Office (304/696-6648). Departments will be billed for the hours parked by their visitors.
  • Request parking for multiple guests – 10 or more vehicles will be expected to be on campus as a result of the scheduled event.
  • Request a specific parking area – When a specific area needs to be reserved to accommodate an event related parking need.
  • Request parking for oversized vehicles (semi-trailer, large vans, school buses, or trucks with trailers) – oversized vehicles need to be parked at the Stadium lot between 3rd and 5th avenues on 20th street and must be arranged in advance.

Before you call our office, please be ready to provide the following information:

  • Event name or title
  • Department hosting
  • Date and time
  • Event location
  • How many attending
  • Which department will be charged for the parking permits

You may email parking@marshall.edu or call us at 304-696-6648 or 304-696-6684.

Please make every attempt to notify our office at least 7 days in advance. If this is an annual event, please contact us 30 days prior.

It is the responsibility of any department or organization scheduling events on campus to make parking arrangements before the event. This is to ensure visitors will not have any parking issues while attending the scheduled campus event.
