All domestic mail should have a return address and a delivery address. This address should contain a PO Box or street address.

Since the USPS (United States Postal Service) reads your address from the bottom up, the last line of the address should only include the city, state and zip code.

All "attentions" should be on the first line of the address.

Addressing for Faculty, Admin and Staff

We receive mail through the United states Postal Service (USPS), UPS (United Parcel Service), Federal Express, DHL, and from other freight carriers.

Each of these require slightly different information in the address. Using the correct address will expedite the delivery of your mail and / or packages.
