- Box fees will only be refunded or credited to your bill solely at the discretion of USC Postal Service Management in the event of cancellation of your University Housing or Greek Village residence hall contracts due to non-enrollment @ USC prior to the effective date of mail service for each term.
- Mail is sorted to assigned student mail box numbers.
- Delivery notification for parcel shipments is made by the placement of a delivery notice in the student mail box.

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
USC 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.
