Parents: How to Send Items
How do I mail letters to my daughter?

All residential students are required to have a Post Office Box on campus. Your daughter will receive her P.O. Box number and key after she arrives on campus. Please address U.S. mail to your daughter in the following fashion:

Daughter's Name
Hollins University
P.O. Box #
Roanoke, VA 24020

Do not address U.S. mail with your daughter’s room number as it could be returned to sender and will slow down the delivery time.

How do I send large packages to my daughter?

Please use the street address, along with your daughter’s building and room number for sending large packages via private carriers (UPS, FedEx, etc.). Packages will be delivered to Printing, Mailing, and Shipping Services. Your daughter will be called to pick up her package. Packages can be picked up Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. at Printing, Mailling and Shipping Services, located in Main Building.

If you choose to send packages through the U.S. Postal System, please remember to use your daughter's P. O. Box instead of her street address. Packages can be picked up Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m., at the U. S. Post Office, located in Botetourt Hall.

Please address shipped items as follows:

Daughter's Name
Hollins University
Residence or Building (ex. Tinker)
Wing, Floor, Room Number (ex. C Wing, 2nd floor, #231
Street Address (ex. 8212 Tinker Lane)
Roanoke, VA 24020

Randolph street address: 8135 E. Campus Drive
Tinker street address: 8212 Tinker Lane
How do I send flowers to my daughter?
Again, please use the street address, along with your daughter’s building and room number for sending flowers. Local florists deliver flowers to the Student Affairs Office on the third floor of the Moody Student Center. Your daughter will be called to pick up her flowers. Flowers can be picked up Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.
