Address Types and Update Information

• Campus Box
  This is a campus PO Box that you rent through Mail Services; it receives top priority when the University mails you important information. You cannot update your Campus Box. However, when you no longer need the box, you should contact Mail Services to request that the box be closed as well as to leave a forwarding address as well.
  
  
• Mailing Address
  If you have no Campus Box, this address receives top priority when the University mails you important information. It can be a PO Box as well as residence.
  
  International Students - If you use a PO Box as a Mailing address and do not live in a Residence Hall, you must also supply a Local address (see below).
  
  Student Family Housing Residents - Use your Student Family Housing address as your Mailing address.
  
  
• Local Address
  This is your Memphis area address--where you live while enrolled. It must be a physical address, not a PO Box.
  
  Domestic Students - You may have a Local address if you do not live at your Mailing address.
  
  International Students - You must enter and maintain a Local address if your Local residence does not match your Mailing address.

  You can maintain two NOK addresses for relatives the University can contact.
