Marshall University’s goal is to make a Marshall education affordable for every accepted student. In addition to offering competitive tuition, our financial aid packages include generous merit and need-based scholarships, loans, grants, and work-study opportunities. To be considered for financial assistance, you’ll need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is made available each year on October 1.
After you’re admitted to Marshall University, confirm your enrollment by logging back into your portal account and completing the intent to enroll form. Then, you’ll complete other steps on this checklist, including applying for campus housing, attending orientation, registering for classes, and more.
After you confirm your enrollment, you can sign up for on-campus housing. Transfer students can choose from among 5 residence halls, with multiple dining options throughout campus. Or you can opt for one of our Living-Learning Communities to live with other transfer students who have similar interests.
- Marshall University has a two-year residency requirement for all freshmen and sophomores, so signing up for housing is a required step.
- Local students who will be living at home with their parents and commuting to campus must fill out an authorization to commute request.
As a new transfer student at Marshall, you’ll take part in a full-day program to learn what it means to attend Marshall University. During New Student Orientation, you will:
