Student Mail and Packages

Everyone at Yale with very few exceptions is required to use a post office box number for receipt of their mail.  This includes students.  Please note this excerpt taken from the Student Handbook:

Post Office Boxes

In order to receive mail on campus, all students are required by postal regulations to have a post office box. An application for your Yale Station post office box, along with your assigned box number, will be sent to you later in the summer.

Please be aware that U.S. mail sent to you at Yale which does not include your post office box number will be subject to delay in delivery, and in some cases will be returned to the sender.

Encourage all students not use the words Yale University, a street address, room number or the college or the dorm name or address. 

Also, if anyone orders items on line and they refuse the box number, leave off the "PO" and only use "Box _ _ _ _ _ _" .  Don't forget to use the complete zip.  Orders should be received without delay and any follow-up materials (invoices, catalogs, etc.) will also go right to you.


Let's all start off the school year right - by using box numbers
