The purpose of these regulations is to establish guidelines that will not impede the flow of traffic or endanger the health and safety of the university community.\u00a0 This is to provide parking spaces within the limits available and monitor traffic patterns to avoid congestion on the Marshall University Campus.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In accordance with Section 18B-4-6 of the West Virginia Code, Marshall University acquired operation and regulation of parking areas and facilities at state institution of higher education: regulation of parking, speed, and flow of traffic on campus roads and driveways: civil and criminal penalties and disposition of revenue.\u00a0 (a) The governing board are hereby authorized to construct, maintain, and operate automobile parking facilities or areas upon any premises owned or leased at any state institution of higher education under their jurisdiction for use by students, faculty, staff, and visitors.<\/p>\n

All areas and facilities in the university parking system are controlled. Signs are posted at the entrances and within lots as to proper permits authorized to park in the area.<\/strong> All parking facilities, except the parking meters and the 6th Avenue Parking Facility, require a parking permit during enforcement hours. The parking of vehicles is prohibited in all the campus areas, except those areas designated for vehicle parking. Parking regulations are enforced throughout the entire calendar year and are not directly associated with class schedules.<\/p>\n

Do not throw away or discard your parking placard. There is a $20.00 charge for a parking placard replacement. <\/strong>A parking permit does not guarantee the holder a convenient parking space; it only grants the privilege in an assigned area. A parking permit does not excuse the payment of a parking meter. Lack of parking spaces, mechanical problems, inclement weather, or other disabilities do not justify parking violations.<\/p>\n

Parking permits are the property of Marshall University and are registered for use only by the holder. Ownership of the permit placard remains with the university<\/strong>. Parking Permits are not transferable. DO NOT share your parking permit with anyone. A citation is not excused because another person was using the vehicle or the permit. The person registering a vehicle is responsible for all citations issued to that vehicle and\/or any other vehicle displaying their parking permit. Permits must be returned to the Public Safety Parking Enforcement Office when the user leaves the university. Regulations are subject to amendment as approved by the Board of Governors and University Administration. They are in effect and enforced at all times. Parking on campus is zoned parking. The parking permit that you purchased from the Bursar\u2019s Office will have a parking zone letter displayed on the permit authorizing the vehicle to be parked in specific areas according to the permit designation.<\/p>\n

Parking permits must be properly displayed in vehicle.<\/strong> Use of certain lots may be temporarily restricted to facilitate special events, construction, maintenance, or other conditions. <\/strong>Permits must be hung from the rear-view mirror facing outward. It must be seen clearly from the exterior of the vehicle. Notes left on the dashboard will not be accepted. Please call the Parking Enforcement Office to receive prior authorization for special parking circumstances.<\/p>\n

Parking Citations:<\/strong> A habitual violator is designated as a permit holder or non-permit holder utilizing the parking facilities at Marshall University who have three or more unpaid citations. A financial hold is placed with the university and will restrict registration for classes, drop\/add courses and\/or receive financial aid dispersal, release of transcripts, and permit purchase or renewals. All outstanding parking citations must be paid before parking permits can be purchased and\/or renewed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Any vehicle<\/strong> that substantially impedes the flow of traffic or endangers the health and safety of the MU community will be towed at the owner\u2019s expense. Vehicles parked illegally on the lawn, in fire lanes, in handicapped spaces, blocking fire hydrants or building entrances, will be towed at the owner\u2019s expense. With the exception of several timed loading zones, all loading\/unloading requires prior authorization or a specialized permit from the Parking Enforcement Office. Vehicles will be towed without regard to hazard warning lights being displayed. The owner of any towed vehicle will be responsible for all towing and vehicle storage charges.<\/p>\n

Any vehicle displaying a lost or stolen parking permit or altered permit will be towed<\/strong> and the owner may be prosecuted criminally and\/or be referred to the MU Judicial Affairs office for disciplinary action. Parking privileges may be suspended or revoked.<\/p>\n

Handicapped Parking<\/strong>: Employees and students who qualify for handicapped parking must display both a state issued handicapped permit or license plate along with a valid MU parking permit. The MU parking placard must have a handicapped decal sticker applied, and must be hanging in front of the handicap placard to avoid parking citations. Vehicles displaying both permits may park in any handicapped parking space on campus.<\/p>\n

If you believe that you have received a parking citation in error<\/strong>, you may file an appeal. A Parking Citation Appeals Board composed of representatives from the campus community reviews all appeals. All decisions made by the Parking Citation Appeals Board are FINAL.<\/p>\n

Meter and permit parking are enforced Monday through Thursday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Friday.<\/strong> All other violations are enforced 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Parking regulations are enforced throughout the entire calendar year, and are not directly associated with the class schedule. Parking citations have civil penalties of $15.00 and $100.00. Expired Pay lot meter violations are $15.00. The quarter meter violations are $5.00. Handicapped violations are $100.00 and all other violations are $15.00.<\/p>\n

Student parking permits are valid in areas designated as Student Parking and General university Permit Parking only.<\/strong> Spaces in these areas are available to students on a first-come-first-serve basis. The availability of spaces is not guaranteed. Full time MU student parking permits are valid in any open surface permit lot AFTER 4:00PM and your vehicle must be returned to your assigned lot by 8AM the following day. Parking permits cannot be used in meter lots. Meters must always be paid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Employee parking permits<\/strong> are valid in the Employee Parking assigned areas<\/strong> and also in any area designated as general university permit parking. The availability of spaces in assigned areas is not guaranteed. If an assigned area is full, an employee must park in any general university parking area. Employees are not permitted to park in another assigned staff area or student parking lots if their assigned area is full.<\/p>\n

Exclusive permits<\/strong> i.e., Emeritus, John Marshall Society cannot be used in the pay lot beside Corbly Hall, the metered lots, or the 6th Avenue Parking Facility.<\/p>\n

Refunds<\/strong> will be issued in accordance with the institutional refund policy. Refunds will not be processed until the parking permit is returned to the Parking Enforcement Office. To receive partial credit and\/or a refund during extended absences from campus, an employee\/student must surrender their parking placard to the Parking Enforcement Office during their absence from campus.<\/p>\n

Home Football Games<\/strong>: On home football game days, MU parking permits are not valid in the Stadium lot and other surface lots with numbered spaces. Permit holders must remove their vehicles from these lots by 7:00 AM. The Athletic Department will tow any vehicles remaining in these areas at the owner\u2019s expense. All other surface parking lots without numbered spaces and parking garages can charge a fee for parking on home football game days. Permit holders parked in the parking facilities, or surface lots without numbered spaces, may stay parked there.
\nHowever, if you exit the garage or any surface lot on game day and try to re-enter, you must pay the entry fee.<\/p>\n

Weekday Football\/Basketball Games, etc.<\/strong>: It is the policy of the Marshall University Office of Public Safety that during weekday games, the Athletic Department does not charge any valid MU permit holder to park on the open surface lots or in the 3rd avenue parking garage because of the evening class sessions. There is no parking allowed on Stadium lots during weekday or week-end game days.<\/p>\n

Marshall University is not responsible for any damage caused to or theft from any vehicle while parked in any parking area under its control.<\/strong> Any damage caused to or theft from a vehicle should be reported to the Marshall University Police Department immediately at 696-HELP.<\/p>\n

Evening permits<\/strong> are valid only after 4:00 PM and are valid in any MU open parking surface permit lots. Full time permits are valid in any MU parking open surface permit lots after 4:00 PM.<\/p>\n

Guest\/visitor parking permits<\/strong> may be obtained by stopping by the Office of Public Safety Parking Enforcement Office, which is located in the Office of Public Safety building.

The 6th Avenue Parking Facility is now open at a charge of 50 cents per hour, cash only.\u00a0 There are regular semester and special summer hours. Check the signs for operational times.\u00a0 It is the responsibility of any department, organization, faculty, staff or student scheduling events on campus to make parking arrangements before the event or campus visit.<\/p>\n
