Special Activity Event Parking


If you are planning to host an event or an activity on campus please contact our office for parking arrangements:

1. Any activity that requires the visitor to park on the MU Campus during the regular university business week. All visitors must display a temporary permit to park on the main Marshall University Campus. These permits are provided by the Parking Enforcement Office of the Office of Public Safety at $2.00 p/day.

2. When a specific area needs to be reserved to accommodate an event related parking need.

3. 15 or more vehicles will be expected to be on campus as a result of the scheduled event.

4. Oversized vehicles (semi-trailer, large vans, school buses, or trucks with trailers) need to be parked at the Stadium lot between 3rd and 5th avenues on 20th street.

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

You may email parking@marshall.edu or olynn@marshall.edu or call us at (304) 696-6406 or (304) 696-6684. Please make every attempt to notify our office of the event at least 7 days prior and if this is a yearly scheduled event 30 days prior to order your temporary parking permits.

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