Mail Services acts as the central distribution point for all incoming mail delivered by various carriers, as well as for mail circulated within the campus. Mirroring many of the conveniences offered by USPS, we provide services such as Express Mail, Priority Mail, and Certified Mail. For your mailing needs, we also sell stamps and essential shipping supplies. Furthermore, we function as a convenient drop-off location* for USPS, UPS, and FedEx shipments.
*To drop off packages, they must be equipped with a complete shipping label that includes a tracking number. Please note that we are unable to accept labels that only contain a QR code.
Understanding Your Student Mailing Address
To ensure efficient processing and delivery, all mail and packages must adhere to the following address format:
Student First and Last Name
XXXXX Campus Box
Elon, NC 27244
For addressing purposes, the campus box number precedes “Campus Box,” similar to a street address.
Should a shipper require a more detailed address, you may include an additional address line: 100 Campus Drive. Incorrectly addressed items may experience processing delays or be returned to sender.
Your designated campus box number can be located in OnTrack. For more detailed information, please visit our Incoming Students page.
