SHIPPING PACKAGES FOR FALL 26

Between July 15 and August 1, 2026 the mail room will accept packages for all incoming students. These packages will be placed in a mail locker the day before or on the day they arrive. Oversized packages which do not fit in mail lockers will be pre-placed in the students’ rooms. For it to work, the words “Incoming Student” MUST be added to the name line, or on their own line (e.g. Pat Smith Incoming Student). “Incoming Student” is the only way we know to hold the package, as the finalized housing lists are not available to mail services at that time. Please do not send any packages outside this timeframe until no more than a day or two before the student arrives. Any such packages received after August 1st and not just before the student arrives will be held at the mail room and need to be picked up there.

Please email us at icmailservice@ithaca.edu (prefered) or call 607-274-3371, to speak with the Mail Services team directly.
