Residence Life Mail & Package Procedures

Mail: Mail that can fit into a mailbox will be delivered to the specific residence hall or apartment that it is being sent. Note that there is usually a one-day delay in this, due to the sorting that happens on campus. For the mailing address of your hall or apartment, please see below. 

Package Notification: NDSU just switched to the process of students picking up packages at the NDSU Bookstore inside the Memorial Union. This provides students with better security for their packages, and much better hours for pick-up. See below to see your specific apartment/hall's pick-up details. After a package is dropped off on campus, it will take a day to be sorted and delivered to the bookstore. Currently, staff our manually checking in each package and emailing each student to let them know the package can be picked up. We are receiving hundreds of packages to campus a day right now, so this check in and notification process takes time. The bookstore is working to get an automated notification system which will speed things up, until then, please be patient.
