Campus Mail Delivery

There are many buildings on campus that house multiple departments. One example, 246 Church Street, has the Registrar's Office, Dining Halls, Financial Aid - Undergraduate, International Students & Scholars, Student Finance & Administration, and Student Employment and ID Center. Another example, 155 Whitney Avenue, has fourteen departments!

A department name needs to be included in the address in order for delivery to be made. An envelope addressed only to a person's name and the street address will have to be returned to sender as insufficient address.

Be sure you have included all of the address information on the envelope: Name, Department and Campus Address. Use only official YALE UNIVERSITY INTER-DEPARTMENTAL MAIL envelopes. Envelopes calling only for the person's name and address are inadequate. No envelopes should be used that ask for the sender's name.

If you are using plain envelopes, such as standard business-size white envelopes, it is advisable to include your complete return address in the upper left corner in case the item needs to be returned to you.

Remember: Correct delivery depends on a complete address!
