Campus Mail: How it works

During the academic year, students can pick up their mail and packages from the friendly staff in Mailing Services located in Tyson Hall using their side entry by the Residence Life office. Students will receive a notification to their UP email account when a package or a letter arrives for them.

Here is the correct format for sending mail and packages to your student throughout the academic year:

Student Name
Residence Hall and Room Number
5000 N Willamette Blvd
Portland, OR 97203

(that’s right–you don’t need to include University of Portland in the address!)

Are you driving from far away or flying when you bring your student to campus in August? Students moving into one of UP’s residence halls this fall can mail their boxed belongings directly to themselves at their new campus address, using the address format above, for secure storage at Mailing Services where they can be picked up on move-in day. The first day that Mailing Services can accept students’ belongings is Thursday, August 8, 2024.

Mailing Services will be open on move-in day, Thursday, August 22, and through move-in weekend for students to pick up their belongings to bring back to their new residence hall room. If you are driving to campus, you may want to drive to Printing & Mailing Services before checking in to your student’s residence hall room to retrieve their packages. Please note that students in Fields, Schoenfeldt and Lund Family Halls are within easy walking distance of Mailing Services

For any questions you have regarding mailing or receiving packages at UP, please email packages@up.edu.
