Address & Mail

While the use of email is strongly emphasized, the university primarily corresponds with students by mail. In order for the university to communicate effectively and in a timely manner, including in emergency situations, all students are required to manage and update their address and telephone contact information via jwulink so that they are current at all times.

Each student is required to maintain both an On Campus/Commuter Address and a Permanent Address, in addition to a cell phone number.

• Students who have no active address on record will have a Schedule Hold placed on their accounts.
• Depending upon the type of correspondence, individual university offices may choose to utilize any one of the student’s listed addresses (preference is documented in each department's procedures).
• Upon graduation, please note that a diploma will be mailed to the address as provided by the student on the diploma application. 
• Students who are employed by the university must also notify Student Employment of any change in address.
• The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires that all aliens (i.e. international students) residing in the United States report all changes of address to the USCIS within 10 days of any move that takes place within the United States by completing form AR-11, also available in the International Student Services. Post office box addresses will not be accepted in any address for international students.

On Campus/Commuter Address (required) is classified as the address of residence during enrollment. Additionally, students are required to maintain a cell phone number with this address, which is vital in cases of emergency. Post office box addresses will not be accepted for this address.

Permanent Address (required) is classified as the student's "home" address.

Mailing Address is the preferred mailing address during enrollment. Most correspondence from the university will be sent to this address. If no Mailing Address exists on record, the Permanent Address will be utilized.
