You can get your ID card on the first floor of Drinko Library. You’ll need your MUID for nearly every transaction on campus including checking out books at the library, obtaining tickets for athletic events, entry to the Campus Recreation Center, printing in computer labs, etc. The ID Office makes photo identification cards and badges for Marshall University students, faculty, and staff. The ID Office is required to verify the identity of any individual requesting a card with a valid, Government issued photo ID such as a driver’s license or passport. All identification cards issued will bear the individual’s official name on record with the University.

How is a commuter student different from a residential student?
Commuter students face many unique challenges while attending college. Commuters may have very limited time on campus during the day because of driving time, schedules, and work. Sometimes, if a commuter does not have class or work, he or she may not even come to campus. Commuters may have family and work responsibilities in addition to classes.
Where can I park on campus?
The Marshall University Parking Enforcement Office is located in the Office of Public Safety building at 1801 Fifth Avenue. Office hours are Monday thru Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Permit parking is enforced from 7 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday and 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday. Surface parking permits are for six months and the full year. A student surface-parking permit will allow you to park in any designated M.U. Student or General permit parking area on campus. Parking permits for the Third Avenue Parking Garage are available. Garage permits are for six months and the full year.
Where do I find out what books I need and where can I buy them?
The Marshall University Bookstore is located in the Memorial Student Center. All class books are available there. You should take a copy of your class schedule with you. There are tags for each book indicating the course and professor for which the book is required. You can also ask one of the bookstore’s friendly staff members for assistance. Another option for finding your books is to buy them from other students on campus. Students sell their books by posting signs in the residence halls and the Student Center.
I need to use a computer. Where do I go?
Several computer labs are available on campus, including labs in nearly every classroom building, Drinko Library and the Memorial Student Center.
I’m not feeling well. What do I do?
