Ship Packages To Your Residence Hall

UPS, Federal Express, and other parcel services deliver to Syracuse University, but not directly to your room or apartment. Packages will be delivered to your hall's designated, secure mail delivery location, generally near the front desk of your residence hall.

You can send packages to your campus address. Remember to include your full address, which varies depending on where you live on campus.  

Packages will be available for pickup starting on Tuesday, August 20. Do not ship anything you will need immediately. Packages will be accepted from shipping companies at the residence hall front desks starting on Friday, August 16. Do not ship your belongings more than 5 days in advance of your move-in date, otherwise they risk being returned to the sender.
Reserve Your Textbooks

Beginning on August 1, you will be able to view your schedule on MySlice and then review the textbook information provided by your instructor on the  Bookstore's textbook site. The SU Bookstore will pull your textbooks, box them, and have them ready for you when you come to campus. 

For those of you who prefer to make your textbook purchases after you arrive on campus, the knowledgeable textbook staff will be available to assist you in finding your textbooks in the Schine Student Center Bookstore. Just be sure to bring a copy of your class schedule and SU I.D. with you!
