Mail and Packages

Residence Halls
Residents will be assigned a specific box number and combination and will receive information at check in about how to find this information via myUSI. To make the delivery of mail more efficient the following format should be used for the residence halls. The hall name is not used in the mailing address.

On Campus Apartments
The resident's mailing address is their building number followed by the street name.

Please note that the post office will only deliver mail to a street address. Please use the following format only:

You legal name

Your apartment # and street name(see below)

Evansville, IN 47712

O’Daniel North, O’Daniel South and McDonald West
One of the four students in your apartment will be assigned the mail key for the apartment. Students can work out their own system for checking the mail and sharing the key. If after all roommates have moved in and there is still no mail key assigned, or residents lose the mail key, a key can be requested by emailing living@usi.edu. Residents can find their box number via the housing icon on myUSI.

Packages from all carriers (FedEx, USPS, DHL, and UPS) are received by the HRL mailroom and stored for up to two weeks. Students will be sent an email to their myUSI account letting them know that they have received a package. (HRL does not send an email when students receive letter mail unless it is logged as a package.) Students are asked to wait an hour after receiving the email before coming to pick up their package. This allows staff time to sort and organize all logged in packages. A picture ID will be required in order to pick up packages. Packages may be picked up in the main housing office located in O’Daniel North apartment complex from 8 a.m.–Midnight, Monday–Friday, and Noon to Midnight, Saturday–Sunday (fall/spring).

Housing and Residence Life will not hold or forward mail. The USPS considers a campus address as temporary and will not forward mail. Residents will need to notify family, friends and businesses of their address change.
