STUDENT MAIL AND PACKAGES
All students at Yale are required to use their post office box for receipt of their mail and packages. Please note this excerpt taken from the Student Handbook regarding Post Office Boxes:
In order to receive mail on campus, all students are required by postal regulations to have a post office box. 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.
Mail and packages received with a street address (including those sent to your Master's Office) must be looked up to determine the correct box number, then returned to Yale Station. This causes a delay of 24 to 48 hours in the receipt of your mail. To avoid this delay, use your box number on all mail. Do not use the words Yale University, a street address, room number or the college or the dorm name or address.
ALL PACKAGES AND MAIL MUST BE ADDRESSED TO YOUR PO BOX, NOT TO A STREET ADDRESS OR YOUR MASTER'S OFFICE. ALL packages and mail (registered, certified, priority, etc.) that can be sent through US mail can be sent to your post office box, not just packages that actually fit in your box.
For items ordered online 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 your box.
The correct format for Yale student addresses is:
student name
PO Box _ _ _ _ _ _
New Haven, CT 06520- _ _ _ _
