Students who live on campus or rent a mailing address can find details about our services and information about how to find your address below.

Student Addresses

YOUR OFFICIAL NAME 
3#####  Georgia Tech Station
351 Ferst Drive
Atlanta, GA 30332

What goes in the ##### spaces?

For on campus residents and those who rent a mailbox, address information is available on BuzzPort. From the "Registration and Student Services" section, click:

• Registration - OSCAR
• Student Services & Financial Aid
• Student Records
• *New GT Post Office
• The last five digits are your mail folder number that replaces the ##### above.

Important notes about student addresses:

• For incoming students, mailbox numbers will be assigned in July to any on campus resident who has registered for classes. After July, mailbox number information will appear within 48 hours of registering for classes.
• Please note that you are responsible for sharing your address with friends and family.
• Sharing your mail address with another student is prohibited.

Student Mail Pick-Up

Students will receive an email notifying them that mail (a package/letter) is ready for pick up. The email will direct them to pick up their mail at the Post Office located on the 1st floor of the John Lewis Student Center or at the Mail Processing Center located at 711 Marietta St.  

• Students should remember to bring their BuzzCard or any state-issued photo ID when picking up their mail. 

• To alleviate congestion, the Postal Services Team asks that students wait until they have received an email from the GT Post Office telling them mail is ready for pickup before coming to either Post Office location. This will be particularly important in minimizing crowded lines and extended wait times at the Student Center Post Office during peak periods. 

• Be sure to check your mail regularly! Items left longer than 30 days may be returned as unclaimed. Perishable items must be picked up within 48 hours of the email notification.  After 48 hours the items will be discarded.  

Renting a Campus Mailing Address

If you are moving off-campus, including into Greek Housing, your mailing address will become inactive. If you would like to keep a mailbox in the Post Office, you must complete the Campus Mailing Address Rental Form. The annual fee is only $30 and covers fall term through summer term. Reservations are on a first come, first served basis, and assignments are not guaranteed to stay the same year after year.

Mail Forwarding

If you are moving off-campus, including into Greek Housing, your mailing address will become inactive. Students who graduate or move off-campus can have their mail forwarded for one semester after graduation. However, mail cannot be forwarded internationally. Magazines and other publishings can not be forwarded. 
Mailing Forwarding Instructions

For those of you living on campus this year, you'll have a mailing address with the Georgia Tech Post Office where you can manage all of your letter and package needs. Here's what you'll need to know about our mail services:

Student Mail Addresses Have Changed 

Because of the change in pick-up location, students' address have now changed - if you are a campus resident or a student who rents a mailing address, your address is now 351 Ferst Drive. Be sure to follow the addressing instructions below in the Student Mail section.

About Large Packages 

Please limit the size of packages you send through the Post Office when possible. Large items like futons, bicycles, or refrigerators are acceptable. However, items shipped on pallets or freight will not be accepted by the Postal Service Team. 
 
Additionally, during peak periods some large packages will be available for pick-up at the 711 Marietta St Mail Processing Center instead of the Student Center Post Office. Students should read their package pickup notification email carefully to find out where their packages should be picked up. 

Please keep in mind that a student is responsible for transporting their large items back to their residence halls. 

High-Density Mail

The Student Center's renovation provided an opportunity to be more space efficient in our mail processes. Now in its permanent home in the renovated Student Center, the Post Office has a High-Density Mail system (HDM), which utilizes compressible shelves of folders in lieu of individual mail boxes. 

You will not have an individual mail mailbox, but a mailing address that corresponds to an individual folder containing your mail. At least now you won't have to remember a combination anymore! 

What About the Old Mailboxes?

The transition to High-Density Mail means retiring the old mailboxes from the 1st floor of the Student Center; details on the future and possible purchase of those mailboxes will be released when available.
