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 misdelivery 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:
Your Name
Millersville University (Optional)
Room #, Building Wing Letter (if applicable), Building Name
Millersville, PA 17551
Examples:
Barry Allen
Millersville University
307 B South Village Suites
Millersville, PA 17551
Harley Quinn
Millersville University
T103 A East Village Suites
Millersville, PA 17551
Wally West
Millersville University
240 Shenks Hall
Millersville, PA 17551
Selina Kyle
Millersville University
100 C West Village Suites
Millersville, PA 17551
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 misdelivery 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 & Residential 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.
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.
