How To Address Mail
Mail with Proper and Correct address format and content has less of a chance of being delayed.
Let's look at some examples of how we should address mail:
Campus Mail
Campus mailing is very basic. Using an appropriate campus inter-office mail envelope, follow this simple layout:
- Recipient's Name
- Department Name
- Building Name
U.S. Mail
- RECIPIENT'S NAME
- COMPANY NAME
- STREET ADDRESS
- CITY, STATE ZIP-CODE
International Mail
The bottom line of a foreign address should show only the country name, written in full.
Do not place postal codes of foreign designations on the line of the address.
Student Mail
- Student's Name - Student (including middle initial)
Incoming Student Mail
- STUDENT'S NAME - STUDENT
- ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY
- ONE OLD FERRY ROAD
- BRISTOL RI 02809-2921
Proper addressing Example:
John R. Smith – Student
Roger Williams University
One Old Ferry Rd
Bristol RI 02809-2921
