Office of Career Education
With a goal of assisting students to achieve success, Marshall’s Office of Career Education provides students with support as they begin their college careers and throughout the time they are at Marshall. It’s the first place to ask many questions students may have.

Tutoring Services
Marshall University students may seek assistance from peer tutors who have demonstrated expertise in the subject area(s) they tutor and have obtained recommendations from appropriate faculty members. Tutors are available for single or recurring appointments.

Writing Center
Staff at the Writing Center are available to help students at all stages of their writing projects in any discipline. Appointments are available for either a face-to-face session or an online session.

Student Health Services
Health services for Marshall University students are available at facilities located at Cabell Huntington Hospital, weekdays while classes are in session. Transportation from the Huntington campus is provided free of charge.
