Mail and Packages

Note:  Delivery of alcohol to individual students (regardless of age) or student groups at Barnard is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, the commercial delivery of alcohol to College residence halls or the delivery of alcohol to any student campus mail address (per the Student Handbook).

Where / How do I get my mail?

When students enroll at Barnard, they are assigned a mail box in the Student Mail Room in Altschul Hall. Students will keep this mailbox for their entire four years at Barnard (so you don't have to change your mailing address each year).

Mail and/or packages addressed to residence hall rooms will not be accepted (see exception for Cathedral Gardens below).

Please note that the Student Mail Room cannot accept packages more than 3 days before the move-in date each academic year.  For example, First Year students for the 2013-2014 academic year can start having packages arrive on Thursday, August 22, 2013.  If you wish to ship packages to yourself for move-in, please ask the carrier (ex. UPS, Fed Ex, etc.) to hold the package for deliver on 8/22 or later.

If you have questions regarding mail services, please contact 212-854-2095 or mailservices@barnard.edu.
