Wildcat Welcome Package Centers 2012

This webpage contains information for Fall 2012. Information for Fall 2013 will be provided here in Summer 2013.

If you'll be living in University housing and intend to ship some of your belongings before you arrive, follow these steps:

• Choose a shipping company. It is best to choose a service that provides tracking information and proof of delivery (USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc.).
• Schedule delivery for no earlier than September 18, 2012.  We ask the delivery companies to hold mail for Northwestern residential students that arrive before this date for delivery on the 18th. However, packages arriving earlier than the 18th may be returned to the sender.
• Address each package appropriately (visit the description of your assigned building for the correct mailing address). Please do not include "Northwestern University" in the mailing address as this will slow down the delivery of the package.

Upon arrival, go to your residence's designated mailroom or package center with your photo ID to claim your shipment. Specific pickup hours will be posted in student residences and mailrooms. Please note the following:

• In an effort to reduce wait times, we would encourage students to ship only essential items early and wait to ship non-essentials until after the start of classes. Examples of non-essentials include items such as winter clothing.
• The student must show a picture ID and be present to claim his or her belongings.  A family member or friend cannot sign for the student's items.

Due to the volume of packages delivered at the beginning of the academic year, some students will pick up packages at designated package centers instead of the normal Information & Mail Centers.
