How to Address a College Financial Aid Office

A university or college is a city within a city, depending on the size of the physical campus. When you address an envelope or other mailing to a school's financial aid office, you want to make sure it doesn't get lost among other departments' mail. Some schools have their own ZIP codes -- similar to a small town or municipality -- and this helps to expedite delivery. Other important address components include the financial aid's building name, department or suite designation. To be sure you include all necessary address information, you could begin by looking up the school's preferred way of writing out the address.
