Mail Services sorts mountains of mail every day – an amount so large that it necessitates a consistent addressing standard to enable proper distribution. To save time and increase efficiency, we need incoming faculty and staff mail to include not only the name and university address, but the department as well. Please make note of this when giving out your address.
We understand that addressing on unsolicited faculty/staff mail is out of your control to some degree and may not include the department name. When this is the case we ask that administrative personnel have the address corrected to include the department whenever possible.
A standard address should follow the format below:
NAME
TOWSON UNIVERSITY (DEPARTMENT)
8000 YORK ROAD
TOWSON MD 21252
Building names, rooms numbers and directions are useless to Mail Services – it?s the department that counts.
Individuals with addressing questions should go to our web site, { http://www.towson.edu/mailservices} or call 410-704-2260 for more information. The web site provides a list of departments and acceptable abbreviations that will be of assistance when sending campus mail.
