Mail and Packages
Campus mail is coordinated by the Mail Services office.
More questions? Email MailServices@youfa110.com.
Residential students are assigned a mailbox in the Student Mail Room in Altschul Hall (please see below for how to find your mailing address).
Columbia students living at Barnard as part of the Housing Exchange would need to receive their mail through their mailbox at the Columbia Mail Center.
To find your mailbox number, mailing address, and your mailbox combination, please visit the Registrar Office's Slate for Students page.
For more information (including Mail Room hours), please visit Mail Services.
All student mail (including letters, periodicals, and packages) should be addressed as follows:
Student Name
XXXX Altschul
3009 Broadway
New York, NY 10027-6909
Note: XXXX represents your 4-digit mailbox number
New Students: If your mailbox number & combination is not visible at the Slate for Students link above, it has not yet been uploaded by Mail Services. The information should be posted shortly before the start of the semester. If you have questions, please visit Mail Services.
(Res Life does not have access to students' mailbox numbers or combinations)
If you are moving in earlier than other students for a pre-Orientation program and have not received your mailbox address yet, you may temporarily use the address below to send packages and then use your mailbox address once it is available (see above).
[Your Name]
Altschul New Student
Barnard College, 3009 Broadway

The Student Mail Room will accept mail & packages for students up to 3 days before their scheduled move-in date.
If you're sending packages before moving in, please ask the shipper to hold delivery until that time.
