Address for Success!
Correct addressing is extremely important for anyone wanting to receive mail at Yale. Giving out an incorrect address delays your mail in the US Postal and campus mail systems, and may even cause your mail to be returned to sender. Are you giving correspondents your correct address?
FOR FACULTY AND STAFF:
ALL US MAIL (letters, packages, subscriptions, etc.):
Your Name
Your Department
Yale University (or Yale School of Medicine)
PO Box _ _ _ _ _ _ (6-digit box number)
New Haven, CT 06520- _ _ _ _ (last 4 digits of box) |
With few exceptions, your box number is a 6-digit number. Your ZIP Code add-on is the last four digits of your box number.
If the company absolutely will not ship by US Mail, use the following format for UPS and FedEx:
Your Name
Your Department
Yale University (or Yale School of Medicine)
Street address, # _ _ _ _ _ _ (6-digit box number)
New Haven, CT 06520- _ _ _ _ (last 4 digits of box) |
FOR STUDENTS:
USE US MAIL FOR ALL LETTERS AND PACKAGES:
Your Name
PO Box _ _ _ _ _ _
New Haven, CT 06520 - _ _ _ _ |
If the company absolutely will not ship by US Mail, use the following format:
Your Name
206 Elm St., # _ _ _ _ _ _ (your Yale Station Box Number)
New Haven, CT 06520- _ _ _ _ (last 4 digits of your box #) |
You must sign up at Yale Station for this free street addressing service.
Remember: Your Correspondents Rely On YOU For A Correct Address!
Cards on You Mail
Campus Mail makes every effort to get your mail delivered to you promptly the same day we receive it from the U.S. Postal Service. However, we daily receive a large volume of mail that is incorrectly addressed. This mail must be individually looked up and directed to the proper address. In an attempt to correct this addressing problem, campus mail is stamping these pieces with a note reading
Avoid Delays! |
Please advise correspondence of your correct address. Correct address format is: |
Your Name
Department
Yale University PO Box _________
New Haven, CT 06520-______ |
This note is stamped on the mail, the incorrect address (such as street address) is crossed off, the correct information written in and a Change of Address Card stapled to it.
But this effort is wasted if the card is discarded!
Take a moment to fill out the card, apply postage and mail it. Also encourage others in your department to fill out these cards. Help us to help you receive your mail without delay.
Remember Your P.O. box is a REAL U.S. Post Office box, not an internal sort once your mail arrives at Yale. ONLY use your street address when an item is being sent to you by private carrier such as United Parcel Service or Federal Express.
