Shipping Items to Campus

If you would like to ship items to campus prior to your arrival, you may do so by sending them to the address below. The following address format should be used for incoming mail or packages for students:

Student Name, CC Box #

Colorado College

819 N. Tejon Street

Colorado Springs, CO 80946 USA

 

Don't know your CC Box Number?

• Log on to Banner at coloradocollege.edu/ssb
• Click on "Student"
• Click on "Addresses"
• Your CC box information will be listed under "Addresses and Phones"

Don't use your student housing address. This will slow the processing and delivery of mail and packages.  Delivery drivers are not allowed in secure buildings.  For more information about Mail Services visit their webpage at https://www.coloradocollege.edu/offices/mail/student-information/index.html
