Getting a Campus Box Number
When Central Campus students receive their room assignment from University Housing they are assigned a campus box number.
You've Got a Package
With the volume of student packages that come in daily, it is essential to make sure the complete and correct address is on each package or letter. The correct mailing address format is:
Student's Name
Campus Box (campus box #)
410 W. Greene St.
Milledgeville, GA 31061
Receiving UPS and FedEx Deliveries
UPS and FedEx CANNOT deliver to student housing units, so all packages must come through Mail Services and must include the street address listed below:

Campus Box (campus box #)
Milledgeville, GA 31061
