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 without your post office box number will be subject to delay in delivery, and in some cases will be returned to the sender. There is no direct delivery by U.S. mail to Yale buildings, so do not include the street address of your residential college or dormitory on packages sent by U.S. mail. All letters and packages to your post office box should be addressed according to the sample below:

Your Name
Yale University
Your P.O. Box Number
New Haven, CT 06520

Letters and packages sent by U.S. mail can be picked up at the Yale Station post office, 206 Elm Street, during regular operating hours.
