Receiving Mail & Packages
For the safety and security of our students, mail and packages are not delivered directly to the residence halls or Greek houses. All deliveries are made to the Campus Mail Service Center.
Students residing on Campus at one of the Residential Communities are able to receive letter mail and trackable inbound UPS, FedEx, DHL and USPS items. Every student actively enrolled and taking classes at UA are automatically assigned a 6-digit mailstop code (MSC#). This mailstop code (MSC#) is permanently-assigned and allows every student the opportunity to receive any trackable item at the mail center.
Off-Campus students may also receive mail and trackable inbound UPS, FedEx, DHL and USPS items.
Students can find their mailstop code (MSC#) by clicking on the Campus Mail Service Center icon behind the Student tab on the MyBama web portal. Please be sure to include your district number on packages. This will allow us to deliver packages to the parcel lockers nearest to you for convenient retrieval.
Use the same address regardless of the carrier (USPS, UPS, FEDEX, DHL). Please use the below address structure exactly being sure to use the student’s full name, and correct MSC #. Mail and Packages received with tracking or incomplete, incorrect or no MSC # will be returned to sender. Students can access their unique MSC# located in myBama.
Once in MyBama select student, under Campus Services select under Campus Mail Service Center, MSC (Mail Stop Code) number.
