MAIL, SHIPPING, & PACKAGE DELIVERY SERVICES
Texas A&M University students living on campus can receive mail via their University Apartments provided mailbox or rent a Post Office Box.
Mail is not delivered to individual on-campus residents rooms or apartments. Residence hall and Corps residents may rent mailboxes from Student Mail Services or the U.S. Post Office. Apartment’s residents have centralized mailboxes available at no additional cost.
Check the Corps of Cadets and Residence Halls below for more specific information.
Mailboxes are provided at the University Apartments as part of your housing charges. Each apartment is assigned one mailbox for the residents to share and each student resident is issued a mailbox combination upon moving into an apartment. The apartment community also has several package mailboxes. If you receive a key in your mailbox, this indicates you have received a large package and must pick it up in the large mailboxes.
Mail delivery is handled by the U.S. Post Office for Gardens Apartments and by Texas A&M University Mail Services for White Creek Apartments.

Mailboxes for the Gardens Apartments Building F thru L are located on the outside of the laundry building.
