Personal Shipping and Receiving

Make Sure Your Mail Gets There

Regardless of what type of mail you're sending and receiving, check how you're addressing each envelope, parcel, and package.

Residential Student Mail

Taking the time to write the correct address helps us deliver your mail accurately and on time. Students who live in Daley or Dedmond Hall have assigned mailboxes in your specific building. Only students who live on campus can get mail and have a mailbox. When you give family, friends, business, or other organizations your address, write it this way:

Student Name
Residence Hall Name
Coppin State University
2500 West North Avenue
Baltimore, MD 21216

Inter-Office Mail

Please print clearly—we can't deliver it, if we can't read it. Use standard abbreviations, no personal business names and no nicknames. You do not need to include the building name or room numbers. Write it this way:

Faculty/Staff Name
Department
