Addressing of Mail and Packages
\n<\/strong>Incoming and campus mail must be properly addressed as outlined below to ensure a timely delivery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Current Student
\n<\/strong>Incoming mail<\/em>
\nRecipient Full Name
\nTrinity College
\nBox #70 \u2013 (DO NOT use P.O. Box)
\n300 Summit Street

\n<\/span>300 Summit Street

\n<\/em>Recipient Full Name
\nDepartment and Campus Building<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The student box number is as vital to the address as the student\u2019s full name. Lack of a box number (#70 \u2013) will mean that delivery of your mail will be delayed. If there is an error in the addressing mail (such as the use of nicknames or first names only), the mail will be undeliverable and returned to sender. Crescent Street is not an address that may be used for deliveries. Students living in the Crescent Street townhouses must still use assigned campus box number and pick up parcels at the Mailroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

The employee’s full name is as vital to the address as the department and campus building. Lack of a department and\/or campus building will mean that delivery of your mail will be delayed. <\/span><\/p>\n

Mail classified as certified, insured, registered, express, or next day is held at the Mailroom. A signature of the recipient is required upon delivery by the Mailroom staff.<\/span><\/p>\n

Student Mailboxes<\/b>
\nStudent box numbers are assigned to all incoming students by the Mailroom and will remain the same during the duration of the students’ association with Trinity.\u00a0 For security and confidentiality purposes, the assigned box combination should not be shared with anyone.<\/p>\n

The Class of 2029 received their student box assignment with combo via their @trincoll.edu mid August.\u00a0 The box number is also posted on the students’ Starting Out portal.<\/p>\n

Due to lack of storage, we recommend send packages no more than two weeks before the start of a semester.<\/p>\n

Students should pick up mail daily. Mail letters left in boxes longer than 10 days will be subject to a student status check at the Registrar’s Office. The mail will be banded together and placed above the box. At the end of ten more days (20 days total), the mail will be returned to sender.<\/p>\n

To ensure a safe and prompt delivery to Trinity, please request all exceptionally important mail, such as credit cards, checks, or transportation tickets (plane, train, airplane), it is suggested the items should be sent to you by certified or special tracking service mail. Do not send cash in the mail.<\/span><\/p>\n

During the summer and upon graduation, unless otherwise directed, your student first-class mail is forwarded to your preferred address listed in PeopleSoft. During winter and spring breaks, mail will not be forwarded, but will be held in your campus box. If you are away from Trinity for study away programs, prolonged illness, or any other reasons, it is your responsibility to inform us in writing where to forward your mail during your absence. Mail cannot be forwarded to an international address under any circumstances.<\/p>\n

Departments or student groups may request to stuff student boxes with promotional flyers or brochures. Please contact mail-room@trincoll.edu<\/a> to schedule a time slot.<\/p>\n

Student Package Pick up<\/strong>
\nPackages arriving on campus are held at the Mailroom on the lower level of Mather Hall. When packages arrive, there could be two-day delay especially in the beginning of each semester. If you need to get something quickly, suggest shipping overnight mail (any service) as those packages get sorted more quickly.<\/p>\n

Students receive an email notification once packages are processed. Students receive a second email notification for unclaimed packages after two days. Packages must be picked up 10 days after the second notice, failure to do so will result in packages being returned to the sender. Students must have their Trinity College ID, when picking up a package at Mailroom, without a Trinity ID, the package will not be relinquished. Do not ask the student employees to pick up package(s) without a Trinity ID. This is a breach of security and would jeopardize the student’s job. If the Mailroom is unable to identify the receiver of a package, it will be returned to the sender after five consecutive business days.<\/p>\n

Note: Amazon has lockers (Hub Locker \u2013 Pulley, 300 Summit St.) accessible 24 hours a day on campus. The lockers<\/span> are located to the left of the Mather circle facing the gates against Mather Hall.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Department Mail and Packages
\n<\/strong>Incoming and on-campus mail is delivered\/picked up once a day. Mailroom employees leave for their deliveries at approximately 10:00 a.m. Packages are delivered during the afternoon. During these morning delivery, all outgoing and on-campus mail is picked up and returned to the Mailroom for processing. To ensure a timely processing of mail, please prepare your outgoing mail for pick up with the following guidelines:<\/p>\n
