Texas A&M University Address Format

The correct mailing address for the university is:

Individual Name and Title or Department Name

Texas A&M University

xxxx TAMU

College Station, TX 77845-xxxx

A list of offices and residence halls with TAMU# and ZIP+4 is printed in the Texas A&M University Campus Directory in the green section. Or, go to Texas A&M University TAMU # Lookup now. Each Department has its own zip+4 designations, which is used as the mail stop. Outgoing mail metered by Mail Services must show a complete return address, including department name, TAMU#, and ZIP+4 and the “Return Service Requested” endorsement as needed.

Mail Returned with Address Correction Information

In order for Texas A&M University to meet USPS requirements for low, automation rates, all outgoing mail must contain the phrase "Return Service Requested" below the return address. The result of this endorsement on your envelope is that any mail pieces with incorrect addresses will be returned to you with the correct address information on them so that you can correct your address database. When you receive mail with a yellow USPS address correction label, (1) correct the address in your records – you are paying the USPS 41 cents a piece for returned first-class mail with address correction information; and (2) use a new envelope with the corrected address to re-send the mail. Do not try to re-send the mail in the envelope with the yellow label.

TO SAVE YOUR DEPARTMENT MONEY, SCREEN YOUR MAILING LIST for unnecessary names and check your list for incomplete or incorrect addresses and duplications.

Incoming Business Reply Mail

When you are preparing a mailing with a Business Reply Mail enclosure, please be certain that Mail Services has a copy of the BRM piece, and that the piece we have is marked with the account number to which postage should be charged for pieces that do come back. Business Reply Mail is received daily. It is sorted according to account number and the charges are entered into our accounting system. The pieces will be date-stamped, bundled, and returned to the department with the quantity of pieces indicated on the bundle. There is normally a 24-hour turnaround from the receipt of BRM pieces by Mailing Services to delivery of the pieces to the Department.

Postage-Due Mail

Incoming postage-due mail for University departments is accepted and charges are recorded and billed to the individual department.
