Please address all mail for students as follows:

(Student's Dorm and Room #'s )
Santa Barbara, CA 93108

*Please do NOT include “Westmont College” as part of the mailing address.

Parents making purchases online for your student: Please ensure that the shipper addresses the item to your student's name and address per the information above and does not ship the package with your name. This is a frequent cause for delays and/or returns to sender. 

Please see the last tab and read the IMPORTANT NOTE regarding overnight shipping to Westmont!

Students, please be sure to ALWAYS include your dorm and room # with your address.

Faculty and Staff, please be sure to look up and use the dorm information when sending student mail via inside mail. We frequently have students who share the same first and last name. This will ensure your mail is delivered to the appropriate person.

Please address mail to conference guests as follows:

Westmont College

All shipping services may be utilized however, we recommend you do not use USPS Express Mail for overnight services. The US Postal Service does not deliver to Westmont - we retrieve our own mail and packages in the morning and the USPS may not have the package processed before we pick up.There is a good chance it will remain at the USPS postal annex another 24 hours before we retrieve it. The USPS tracking site will show the package as "delivered" when they process it, but it may still be in their possession.

For GUARANTEED overnight service, please utilize UPS overnight or FedEx Express overnight options when shipping packages to Westmont College. Those services deliver directly to us in the morning, Monday through Friday. We process them that day for department mail delivery or student pickup by 4:00pm.

From the Los Angeles area or closer, UPS Ground or FedEx Ground will also deliver to us the next Monday through Friday morning. 

Please do not pay for Saturday delivery with ANY service when shipping on a Friday because we will not receive it until Monday.
