Chicago Campus Mail Codes

The mail code system was developed to increase sorting speed, reduce errors, and reduce the time it takes to train new employees. Like the zip code on U.S. mail, the campus mail code is the primary factor that determines where a piece of mail is delivered.

The Chicago campus mail code is the same as the plus-four portion of the U.S. Postal Service's zip+4 codes. The Chicago campus mail code is alphanumeric and should appear next to the department or division name on your stationary. There is no need to add a line to your return address on letterhead, envelopes, and business cards as long as the correct zip+4 (Evanston) or alphanumeric code (Chicago) appears as part of the address.

When giving your address to someone on campus, please include your mail code. Also, please use the mail code when addressing campus mail. Newer campus mail envelopes have a line in the address block for this purpose.

For the convenience of the Northwestern community, campus mail codes are listed below by street address and within each address, by department. These are current as of October 2000. To find a location not listed here or for any questions concerning use of the campus code, please contact Tom Luczkowiak, Mail Services Manager, at 847/491-8411.
