Arrival Survey

On-campus residence halls open for new students on Tuesday, August 12th. Information about on-campus housing should be directed to https://www.marshall.edu/housing/ Meal plans will begin on that same day, Tuesday, August 12th. We highly recommend adding some Herd Points to your account before arrival for on-campus dining. International Student Orientation will be held on Saturday, August 16th and all new international students are required to attend. We suggest that you download WhatsApp before you travel so that you may communicate with your pickup person using the WiFi at airports, if necessary. We will email you the person’s name and WhatsApp phone number.

Our service area is Huntington and Charleston, West Virginia. Please try to arrive there. If you choose an airport outside of the service area, you will have to arrive to Huntington or Charleston for us to provide the pick-up services.

*The Office of Global Education and Access, Connections, and Engagement will arrange airport pickup service and lodging for newly arriving international students beginning the week prior to the start of the semester. Please let us know if you will need our assistance when you arrive or if you will make your own arrangements for transportation and lodging. We will reach out to you via email with the WhatsApp information of the person picking you up. If you need to cancel, please directly contact that person within 24 hours. If there is a flight delay, please contact that person to inform them of the flight delay. If you have any questions or concerns, email globaled@marshall.edu.

It is mandatory that you check in with the Office of International Student Services and attend an Immigration Session upon arrival to Marshall University. Please select the Check-in and Immigration Session that you plan to attend:
