As part of the Marshall community, students are encouraged to take advantage of the many services offered to them.
However, some students may not realize what resources are available or which are best.
More than 30 services currently exist on Marshall University's campus, and all are intended to facilitate the lives of students, faculty and staff.
Centers like the Academic Skills Center and Academic Support Center, both located in the Community and Technical College building, provide advisers and peer tutors to students who are having trouble in specific courses.
Students experiencing problems with papers and essays can receive assistance at the Writing Centers, located in Corbly Hall and CTC building.
The Career Services Center gives students the opportunity to expand internship and job opportunities by organizing career fairs and offering career counseling and testing.
Registering for an eRecruiting account can be accessed online at www.marshall.edu/career-services. For further information, call 696- 2370.
Located in Drinko Library, the Computing Services Help Desk is open Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to assist students with technical difficulties and answer questions they may have. To contact the Help Desk, visit www.marshall.edu/helpdesk or call 696-3200.
Fees included in tuition also cover a variety of health costs for students. The University Health Service clinic is open to part-time students taking more than six hours and full-time students.
Tickets for bus transportation to the clinic's location at Cabell-Huntington Hospital can be obtained at the Welcome Center on Fifth Avenue. Hours for the clinic vary, and students must present a valid Marshall ID. Call 691- 1151 or 691- 1106 for more information.
The Student Development Center on the first floor of Prichard Hall consists of four main services, including counseling, a women's center, substance abuse prevention programs and disabled student services.
The Psychology Clinic in Harris Hall also seeks to accommodate the individual needs and concerns of students.
Marshall furnishes its campus with other services for groups of people, including the Center for African American Students' Programs, the Center for International Programs and the Buck Harless Student Athlete Program.
The Campus Christian Center and Catholic Newman Center provide a place of devotion for those of Marshall's Christian and Catholic communities with spiritual needs.
Other general services on campus include the Memorial Student Center, which houses all Student Affairs offices, meeting and conference rooms, the bookstore and cafeteria.
The MUID office, bowling lanes and pool tables are available in the basement of the MSC.
The MUID is a valuable tool on campus; it is not only used for student identification, meal plans and a library card, but can also double as a MasterCard debit card through the use of a Higher One account.
To set up a Higher One account, visit www.marshalluone.com. Higher One accounts can be used to receive university refunds or loan disbursements.
