Student Mail
Incorrect Mailing Addresses are the
leading cause of mail delays to the University. The USPS has
assigned USC a unique zip code to be used on all mail addressed to
students assigned to mail boxes. The use of this unique zip code
, 29225 , will help aid in a more timely receipt
of student mail. See following example:
Addressing Student Mail Correctly
Name ( no nick names)
University of South Carolina
Box # (student’s assigned 5 digit mail box #)
1400 Greene Street
Columbia, SC 29225
USPS recommendations
- Use uppercase characters throughout the address
- Place the city, state and zip code on the last line
- Do not use punctuation marks
- USC student mail should be addressed to the student using the
29225 zip code.
