Keeping your ship together.

Student campus boxes will be assigned on August 1 and will be available in WIN’s Internal Directory.

Please note: Due to traffic and parking issues on Move-in Day, no deliveries can be made on Wednesday, August 17.

Student Physical Address & Campus Box Information

Students can find their PO Box number after August 1 by logging into WIN > Directories > Internal Directory and then searching for their own name.

During the school year, student mailings via US Postal Service that require a physical address should be addressed as follows:

[Your Student’s Name]
Box [their campus box #]
Wake Forest University
Winston-Salem, NC 27109

So if your student’s campus box was 8820, you would address US Postal Service mail as:  

[Your Student’s Name]
Box 8820
Wake Forest University
Winston-Salem, NC 27109

For FedEx, UPS and DHL letters or packages, you must use the following address template because they will not deliver to P.O. Boxes:

[Your Student’s Name]
1834 Wake Forest Road
Unit [their campus box #]
Wake Forest University
Winston-Salem, NC 27106

So if your student’s campus box was 8820, you would address FedEx, UPS, and DHL to:

[Your Student’s Name]
1834 Wake Forest Road
Unit 8820
Wake Forest University
Winston-Salem, NC 27106

NOTE: it is not a typo that we have different zip codes for US Postal Service mail and UPS/FedEx/DHS.

Where’s My Stuff?

Although you may receive a USPS confirmation that your package has been delivered, this notification only confirms delivery to a nearby post office. The package will still need to be transferred to the WFU campus, received and processed by our Mail Services Department.

To make your experience as efficient as possible, please wait to receive an email confirmation from WFU Mail Services that indicates that your package has been processed. If the item will fit into your campus P.O. Box or a parcel locker, it will be placed there; otherwise, you will need to retrieve your package from the Mail Services lobby counter.
