Mail and Packages

IMPORTANT: The USPS and shipping carriers do not make mail or package deliveries on Saturday and Sunday, holidays or when the University is closed. Mail and packages will be delivered to the office the next business day.

HRL staff checks every piece of mail that is delivered to the office to ensure the addressee is in fact a housing resident and confirms their current living space. If letter mail feels like it contains a credit card, gift card or appears to be a check or some type of important document, HRL staff log those in as packages as added security for the student. Staff also logs in certified mail as packages.

What is my mailing address?

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.

O'Bannon Hall: Your legal Name 1720 Rochelle Lane Evansville, IN 47712	Ruston Hall: Your legal Name 1818 Rochelle Lane Evansville, IN 47712

Requesting Your Mail Key

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.

Residence Halls
Residents in the residence halls will receive information at check in about how to find their box number and combination via the housing icon on myUSI. Mailboxes in the residence halls are located next to the hall front desk.

Packages

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).

What Happens to Your Mail When You Move Out

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.
