United States Post Office Boxes are available to rent through the Student Services Center’s Student P.O. Box Rental Office for each academic year, September 15 to August 31. Per quarter or partial year rentals are not available. You must be a registered student within the academic year to acquire a Stanford University P.O. Box. Priority is given to students in the residences without mail service.
Freshman and transfer students are automatically assigned a P.O. Box. All other students must apply for a box on or after September 15 at the Student P.O. Box Rental Office in the Student Services Center on the 2nd floor of Tresidder Memorial Union.

Each spring, all box holders are contacted electronically to inquire if they wish to renew their P.O. box for the following year. If the response is "yes," the box is held for the following year, and the annual rental fee is automatically added to the student's Autumn Quarter University Bill. If the response is "no," the box may continue to be used until the August 31 deadline, after which it will be emptied and prepared for the next user.
Students who did not renew, but will need a new box for the new academic year must contact the Student Services Center to request a new box (see Renting a P.O. Box above).

Express mail may be sent to the box; a card or a key will be put into
the box to notify the recipient that a package is waiting for pick-up.
