Addressing packages
Students are assigned a mailbox number that they will use during their four years enrolled at the college. Using the appropriate and correct address will ensure timely delivery of mail and packages to your student. The mailing address for letter mail is:

In the event you require a street address to mail a package or overnite letter to campus (Federal Express and UPS usually require a street address) the mailing address is:

Packages over five pounds in weight or greater than a foot by a foot in dimension (but please limit each box to 70 pounds) are received at the Physical Plant Office, Monday through Friday 7am to 3:30 pm. They should be addressed as follows:

Mailing to the correct address is crucial particularly during the beginning of each semester and around holidays. Remember to mail early — allow enough time for your package to make it way through the US Mail and other delivery systems.

Always provide a return address on your mail or package and mark it appropriately if it is perishable or fragile. Never use a student residence as a mailing address.

Care Packages
Students truly enjoy receiving mail and packages. You may want to consider sending a care package to your student, particularly during stressful times of the academic year. Reading and exam weeks usually occur in mid-April and mid-December.

Helpful items might include a phone card, stamps, chocolates, aspirin or Tylenol, a card that says you care, gum, candy, homemade cookies or brownies, and of course, MONEY.

Words of caution
Many common items used everyday in the home and work place may seem harmless, however, when transported in the air, they can be very dangerous. In flight, variations in temperature and pressure can cause items to leak, freeze, generate fumes or cause a fire.
