Incoming Student Information
Incoming students should expect to receive their mailing address on Workday during the first week of August. Students can find their Colby address on Workday by clicking on Profile then Contact. The address listed under Institutional Contact Information should be used for all letters and packages sent to Colby. Packages can not be accepted at the college until August 17th. During arrival, packages will be in the Field House of the Harold Alfond Athletics and Recreation Center (HAARC). When letters and packages arrive, an auto-generated email will be sent to the student’s Colby email address with information about the package and the location where it can be picked up.

The term “bulk mail” refers to quantities of mail prepared for mailing at reduced postage rates. The Postal Service offers discounts for bulk mailings because you do some of the work that otherwise would have to be done by the Postal Service (for example, sorting the mail by ZIP Code or transporting the mail to a different postal facility). Everyone benefits from this “worksharing.” Mailers make an investment in time and technology, and the Postal Service’s costs are reduced and you pay less postage. more
