If you are a student living on campus, it is important that your mail is addressed correctly so you receive your letters and packages in a timely manner. To prevent mis delivery of your mail, you will need to have the correct room number and correct building wing letter. Do not add the letter assigned to your bedroom on your mailing address.  The local USPS office’s computer system cannot account for the extra letter on the address. Shenks Hall and Reighard Hall do not have wing letters. The letter “T” before the room number denotes the terrace level of the Villages, which is the lowest floor. Please note that the first and second floor pods in East and West are denoted with the “C” wing letter. Students living in the pods can pick up their mail in the lobby in which their wing is attached to.

Please have your mail addressed in the following manner:

NAME:  Your Name (First and Last Name)

STREET:  37 W. Frederick Street

Room #, Wing, Name of residence hall. Mail Services needs the residence hall information to efficiently deliver the mail.

HALL: South Suites, East Village, West Village, Bard Hall, or Shenks Hall

CITY/STATE/ZIP: MILLERSVILLE, PA 17551

EXAMPLES:

Barry West
37 W. Frederick Street
307 South Suites A
MILLERSVILLE, PA 17501

Selina Kyle
37 W. Frederick Street
T103 East Village A
MILLERSVILLE, PA 17551

Nia Nal
37 W. Frederick Street
240 Shenks Hall
MILLERSVILLE, PA 17551

• Do not use the letter assigned to your bed.
• Shenks Hall and Bard Hall do not have wing designations like the Villages.
• Please use the name the Registrar has on file.
• All mail and packages are sent to the residence hall building, Monday through Friday. The Mailroom office staff is not expected to hand out packages before they deliver to your building.
• The Mailroom will not accept special deliveries from florists or food delivery services.
• Do not overnight packages with delivery for Friday thru Sunday. If the package does not arrive before the Mailroom starts their deliveries on Friday, it will not be delivered until the next business day. In most cases that will be Monday provided that the university is open.
• The Mailroom is not open on the weekends.
• Please allow time for both the Mailroom and University Housing departments to sort and process your mail.
• The Mailroom does not forward mail or pay for postage for student mail.

Please understand that there are ceremonial names placed on the Villages facing the quad, which represent the names of previous residence halls named after historical university faculty and administrators (e.g., Gilbert, Hull, Landes, Hobbs, etc.) However, these names are not yet being used in an official capacity so please do not utilize them as part of your mailing address.

Common mistakes that result in mis delivery or non-delivery of mail include the following:

• No name listed
• Parent / guardian name as the recipient and not the student
• No residence hall listed
• Use of street numbers or street names that are not accurate
• Use of addresses not approved the USPS
• Any other campus address that is not in the format listed above

All mail and packages are initially delivered directly to the university mailroom and then to the residence halls. Please allow time for both the university mailroom and the Housing & Conference Services staff to sort and process your mail. Even though you may see online tracking illustrating that your package has been delivered via USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL, it may not have been sorted by the mailroom yet. Please understand that the Mailroom personnel sort and manage thousands of packages for the University weekly so we appreciate your patience.

Flower Deliveries

Flower deliveries can be made Monday through Friday to the University Housing & Conference Services Central Office in the Lombardo Welcome Center when the University is open between the hours of  8:00 AM and 4:30 PM during the academic year.  The building address is 88 James Street, Millersville, PA 17501. Please include the following information when ordering flowers:

Student Name
Student’s Room # and Hall
Student’s Cell #

*This information is crucial for us to ensure the student is notified in a timely manner.

If you should ever have any questions about your mail or the process, please meet with your prospective Residential Area Director or Graduate Assistant during their office hours to seek help.
