Back-to-School Shipping

If you are shipping items for your student, please do not send items to campus to arrive before August 27, as we have limited storage space. If you would like to ship items to arrive earlier, please consider sending them via the UPS store for in-room delivery.

UPS must receive your boxes no later than August 21, 2025, in order to provide the in-room delivery service.
