Mailing Address Format Update
To enhance the efficiency of online ordering and package delivery, mailing address for students living in residence halls have been updated.
What You Need to Know:
When placing online orders or sharing your mailing address with friends and family, please use the correct format based on your residence hall. This ensures timely and accurate delivery of your mail and packages.
Your mailing address should include::
- Your full name as listed with the University
- Your assigned residence hall and room number, (e.g.Martin Hall room 603)
- The street address associated with your housing area (see chart below)
Important: Do not include additional information such as "Penn State", "Old Main", "Curtin Road". The 16802 zip code is unique to Penn State and all mail and packages will be routed accordingly.
Please refer to the chart below to find the correct street address for your residence hall.
