Services | Housing & Residence Life (original) (raw)

All mail and parcels must be addressed with a student’s preferred name and their Residence Hall address. On-campus residents can visit the myHousing portal to see how to format their address.

Parcels will be delivered to the recipient’s assigned Residence Hall, accepted, signed for (if required), and properly logged by Housing & Residence Life staff, and held for pick-up. While most carriers have parcel tracking notifications, Housing & Residence Life will not release any parcel until it has been properly logged into our parcel management solution. This is done to ensure proper record of guardianship between the carrier and our team. Once a parcel has been logged into our parcel management solution, an email will automatically be sent to the recipient’s UChicago email address containing details about the parcel and how it can be claimed.

Housing & Residence Life will not accept any food (e.g., Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, Plated, GrubHub, UberEats, DoorDash, Caviar, etc.) or cash on delivery (COD) items. Recipients expecting these deliveries must make their own arrangements to meet these carriers to accept their delivery.
