Fall 2026 On-Campus Student Letter Mail Addresses

Residence Hall package rooms are now closed for the season. Most mail and packages address to the residence halls will come to the Postal & Print Office at Bunting, EXCEPT Amazon Locker packages. For package deliveries, please update your address to Bunting (see above).

All letter mail will continue to go to student mailboxes at the residence halls throughout the year. 

We do not scan letters or send out notification emails for letter mail (cards from grandma, checks, your new bank card, postcards from your friends). Please take the key you get at Orientation when you move into your room on-campus and check your physical mailbox, corresponding to your room number, to make sure your mail is there. There are a lot of full mailboxes we have to clear out and return mail for at the end of the year. Just saying.

Off-campus students: please use your local street address as your mailing address for family letters, bills, your bank or other legal interests. Postal & Print cannot accept, hold and manage letter mail for off-campus students. Your letters will be returned to sender.

How Do I Change My Address?

To change your address to or from your MICA Campus Address, please go to the USPS Website and follow the instructions to change your address.

PLEASE do not use MICA'S main/business addresses in your mail forwarding, to or from. 

NEW! The US Postal Service has put in place new protocols for mail forwarding. You may need to go in person and show your id to finalize your mail forwarding. This step is to avoid fraudulent mail forwarding from bad actors. From the USPS website: 

"The US Postal Service is enhancing security protocols surrounding its Change of Address (COA) service by implementing additional identity verification methods. These enhancements are designed to address global identity theft concerns, and to protect our customers' information. The Change of Address service remains simple and convenient to use. It can be completed in a few steps, online at USPS.com, or by visiting one of more than 33,000 local Postal Office locations."

A Word About Amazon

Since streamlining and centralizing our workflow to have all packages come to Bunting, all other carriers EXCEPT Amazon drivers are allowed to bring all mail and packages to our buildings to 1401 W Mount Royal Ave. Amazon drivers are often restricted by their device protocols from bringing packages to Bunting that are addressed to other buildings.

The best address to use for all MICA Packages is:

Your name
MICA
1401 W Mount Royal Ave
Baltimore, MD 21217

Notifications 

When your package arrives, you will receive an email notification from Pitney Bowes. Please come to Postal & Print Services in Bunting, Monday-Friday, 8:30-5:00, show your ID and pick up your packages. 

What if I have a bunch of packages?

If you have more packages that you can carry by yourself, either bring a friend or pick up a rolling basket at the front desk area of your residence hall before coming to Bunting. In Founders', if you can't find any in Latrobe House, try Leake Hall.




Please refrain from ordering perishable food items (e.g. Hello Fresh, etc) or freight items (over 150 lbs). We cannot accommodate these items. 

If you have any questions or concerns, such as that you are looking for a package, but did not receive an email notification, please email postalandprint@mica.edu with your tracking number and we will look up your package. Please don’t come in person to ask about a package that has not arrived at MICA yet.

Emergency/Quarantine Housing and Packages (from the Covid times, but just in case it becomes necessary)

If you are assigned to quarantine housing, you will be instructed to take all the belongings you need with you when you move into your new room. Quarantine means quarantine, or no contact from the outside for your protection and the protection of your fellow students and the staff. If a package arrives while you are in quarantine, you will receive instructions about how to move forward. Consider that you may not need everything that you order and can either email us with the name of someone you designate to pick up the package, or you can wait and we will hold your package until you are safe to return to your regular on-campus housing. Please email postalandprint@mica.edu with your tracking number to discuss specific packages.
