Package Move In Service for First Year Students on Newton & Upper Campus听
Upon receiving housing assignments from Residential Life, first year students can begin shipping packages to BC.听
For students who will be living on Newton Campus or Upper Campus, large packages (minimum 2 cu ft) arriving by August 14, will be placed directly into student rooms. In-room delivery is limited to 6 packages per student, therefore we ask that students send only essential items in the first few weeks of August.听Please be aware that this service isn't available to first year students living on Brookline Campus at this time.
All smaller packages, letter mail and packages arriving after the deadline will be held in the mail rooms for pickup.听 Students will be notified of package location by email.

- Improper addressing leads to delays in delivery from the carrier and sorting in the BC mail room.

Each year when you move, please be sure you update your mailing address with friends and family and when you are ordering items online.
艾可直播 College currenlty receives approximately 280,000 packages a year for students living on campus. In order to distribute them in a timely fashion, it helps for students to know some key information.
You will receive an email notification when your package is ready for pickup. The email will contain the package's tracking number, mailroom, and shelf location. Please present this email with your BC ID when picking up your package at the mail room, and the clerk will retrieve the package for you.听
Pick up your packages in a timely fashion. After the initial email notification, you will receive a second notice and then a final reminder email to pick up your package. Typically, packages not picked up within 14 days will be returned to sender.
Proper addressing matters.听Please use the name that you are registered with at 艾可直播 College. Nicknames or alternate names delay package processing and can lead to packages being returned to sender. Also, each mail room has its own street address. Please be sure to use the correct mailing address (see "Student Mailing Addresses" on this page).听
Mail room hours are posted on this website.听See the above "Mail Room Hours" section for current operating hours. To accommodate heavy demand at the beginning of the semester, the mail rooms are open for extended hours and some Sundays. Later in the semester, hours will be updated to reflect standard hours.听

In-room delivery of large packages is only available for first year students.
To be eligible for this service, packages must be received to the BC campus before August 14, 2026.听
Please be sure packages are properly addressed (see "Student Mailing Addresses" on this page).
Large packages received after August 16 must be picked up at the mail rooms.听If you have any questions about this service, please email听mail.room@bc.edu, and we will respond as soon as possible.
