How should I ship my personal belongings to Carleton?

Student mail should be addressed to:

[Student’s First and Last Name][Class Year]

300 N College St

Northfield MN 55057

E-mail notifications will be sent by the college when packages are ready for pickup at Mail Services. Please keep in mind that carriers and vendors may send delivery notifications before your package is available.
Please add the recipient’s class year so we can be sure who the recipient is if we have not updated our student list yet. This also helps when multiple students have the same name.
Pack essential items in your suitcase if your arrival time does not match up with Mail Services hours.
Do not ship any box larger or heavier than you can carry comfortably to your room.
Boxes should be firmly packed with cushioning around items and reinforced with packing tape.
An alphabetical list of assigned student mail boxes is posted in the lobby outside of the Campus Post Office.
Carleton College cannot assume responsibility for items stolen or damaged during shipment or while in storage. Items lost or stolen after arrival at Carleton are the responsibility of the student, not the College.
