What's My Address?

Residence Halls:

Students in the residence halls are assigned a combination mailbox through Saints Central.  All USPS and parcel-service carriers get delivered to the Mail Center (for other deliverables, see below).  Each student is assigned a 6-digit mailbox number, which they will receive either via email in August or when they check into the residence halls.  Here is how to address mail/packages using the Saints Central Mailbox 250XXX as an example:

John Smith (Please use the full name)

Saints Central 250XXX (Address line 2)

Other Deliverable Items

Other items that people wish to have delivered to students that do not traditionally go through a mail provider (such as flowers, orders from Staples, bakery deliveries) should also get delivered to the mailroom and the student is notified to pick it up from the mailroom. Due to our safety and security policies, we do not allow these vendors to deliver to student rooms.

Forwarding Mail

Requests for forwarding mail needs to be made through the mailroom whether you have a mailbox or are in the campus apartments.  You will not be able to have mail forwarded through the United States Postal Service.  In order to complete your forwarding address information, please complete this form.  You can indicate on the form if this is a temporary (summer) address change or a permanent one (i.e. graduating, moving off-campus, leaving school).  Letters and packages received via USPS can be forwarded regularly for a period of a year.  Any packages received via another parcel service will have to have other shipping arrangements made.  In these instances, you will be contacted through your alternative email address provided and given your options.  Any magazine subscriptions can only be forwarded for 60 days.
