Mail & Packages

Jump to content below

Students residing in on-campus residence halls must obtain a P.O. Box to receive USPS mail. To obtain a P.O. Box, a student must complete an application (applications are available at the MSU Post Office) and turn it into USPS staff. See details at https://faq.usps.com/s/article/PO-Box-The-Basics Two forms of identification are required to apply. Fees begin at $40, depending on the box size. Two keys are provided to each box holder. 

Please note:

  • Packages being delivered by FedEx, UPS, Amazon, DHL, etc. can be delivered to the residence halls. All hall addresses can be found at the bottom of this web page.
  • All mail being delivered through the United States Postal Service (USPS) will require a student P.O. box. 

Students who have a P.O. Box should address their mail in the following manner:

Sally Student
P.O. Box ___
Mississippi State, MS 39762

Students who do not have a P.O. Box will not receive mail via USPS while living on campus.

If a student is receiving a package via DSL, Fed Ex, UPS, Amazon, etc. should address their package in the following manner:

NOTE: Providers such as DHL, Fed Ex, or UPS do have national contracts with USPS. Often these providers will have USPS deliver these packages on their behalf. With that being said, sometimes even if a package is from DSL, Fed Ex, or USP, it will be delivered to the Post Office (USPS) and the Post Office (USPS) will then become responsible for the delivery/pick up of that package. That is why students should have a P.O. Box while living on campus.
