Sending to a resident student
Mail will be delivered to a student's residence hall by Mailing Services, but packages delivered by most carriers (U.S. Express Mail, Fed Ex, UPS, etc.) will be sent to DocuZip in the Student Union.
DocuZip then will notify the student that a package is ready for pickup.
What address do I use?
STANDARD MAIL (e.g., cards, letters, magazines, newspapers):
Recipient's name
The University of Akron
Residence Hall/Room Number/Room Letter
P.O. Box 1350
Akron, OH 44309

Recipient's name
The University of Akron
DocuZip 219
Residence Hall/Room Number/Room Letter

Tip: For better service, please do not use the DocuZip address for standard U.S. mail.
How do I pick up a package?
Students: You can pick up your packages at DocuZip, located in Student Union 219. Phone: 330-972-7870. Students may pick up packages Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The office is closed on weekends.
DocuZip will accept packages for only students who reside on campus. Please avoid using nicknames or aliases, as those names do not appear on the official residence-hall roster that we use to notify students that a package has arrived.
