Helpful Tips for Ease and Efficiency

InfoAdd noreply-campusmail@ua.edu to your safe emails so you never miss an alert about a package!

  • Every actively enrolled UA student is automatically assigned a unique 6-digit mailstop code (MSC#), allowing them to receive trackable mail and packages through the mail center throughout their student career, regardless of whether they live on or off-campus.

  • All student mail and packages must include the student’s unique MSC# without exception. Failure to include the MSC# may result in delayed delivery or having the item returned to sender. Address all student mail and packages using the following format:
STUDENT’S FULL NAME
1831 UNIVERSITY STATION
MSC #_ _ _ _ _ _
TUSCALOOSA, AL 35487-0002
  • When typing in an address for an online purchase, the MSC# may be entered into additional address fields, like Address 2, or on the same field as the name, i.e., “Sally Smith, MSC 123456” in the name field.
  • Never use the physical address of the student’s residence hall or Greek house. USPS, UPS, FedEx and Amazon do NOT deliver to the residence halls, so the item will be returned to sender.
  • The zip code for the UA campus is 35487. When a student moves off-campus, they will have a different zip code and should no longer use 35487, as it is specific to campus only.

Disclaimers

  • Campus Mail Service does not guarantee that packages sent overnight, and priority shipping will be available for pickup at the times the carrier provided. Campus Mail does NOT accept deliveries over the weekends.
  • Campus Mail Service is not responsible for misaddressed or misdirected mail or packages.
