In March 2001, the University implemented the Zip + 4 Numbering System to improve mail services and provide a more effective and efficient way to process mail for our UNCW community. All departments will share our main zip code 28403, but the plus-4 is a specific and unique four-digit number assigned to each department. The plus-4 will accompany the address on all envelopes, letterhead, business cards, incoming mail and inter-campus correspondence identifying that specific department. This eliminates confusing abbreviations and improves speed and accuracy in sorting. Encourage your correspondents to send their replies to your full address. Building and room numbers should not be used in campus addresses.
The following formats are outlined for your guidance when addressing U.S. Mail and intra-campus mail:
For automation purposes, the US Postal Service prefers black ink, block form addresses with a uniform left-hand margin, and no punctuation except for the dash between the zip code and the plus 4.
