Student Mail
The Mail Center processes and delivers all mail for students living in campus housing or those who have opened a personal mail box located in the lobby of the Mail Center.
Campus Address:
All campus housing units use the following address for shipping and receiving mail. Using a campus housing physical address will cause delays in receiving your items.
[Name]
[Housing Unit + Room Number]
Stop [XXXX] (See Below)
Idaho State University
921 S 8th Ave
Pocatello, ID 83209-0002
Receiving Mail:
Letters and Flats (larger envelopes) are received by the Mail Center every weekday morning and are processed and delivered to the University Housing. The housing office directs mail to individual housing units for distribution.
Receiving Packages:
All packages are held at the Mail Center for pickup by students. There are no direct deliveries to housing units or dorm rooms. Once a Package is received and processed by the Mail Center, an automated e-mail will be sent to your campus e-mail account. Please wait for this email before attempting to claim your package.
A valid photo ID is required when picking up packages. Without the ID, the Mail Center is not authorized to release the package. Written permission via a response to the package notification email stating who will pick up the package is required to release any packages to another individual. A spouse is authorized to pick up items with a valid photo ID. Packages are held at the Mail Center for 10 business days then returned to the sender.
If you suspect a package has arrived but a confirmation e-mail has not be received, please contact the Mail Center at (mailcntr@isu.edu) or 208-282-3685 with the packages tracking number.
