Mail Services

Thayer graduate students are assigned a mailbox for receiving both intra-campus mail and general mail via the United States Postal Service (USPS). All mailboxes are located behind the receptionist's desk, off the Glycofi Atrium in MacLean Center for Engineering Sciences.

  • Intra-Campus Mail (Hinman)

    Mail originating from Dartmouth offices or departments can be sent via Dartmouth’s intra-campus mail system, also known as Hinman mail. At Thayer, intra-campus mail is picked up and delivered once a day, usually in the morning. All intra-campus mail must have a return address and should pertain to College business between departments, colleagues, or students. Intra-campus mail service will not deliver US Postal mail (other than those redirected), books, cartons, containers, or packages. Hinman Box (or "HB") numbers for individuals and offices can be found using the online Dartmouth Name Directory (DND).

    Your Hinman Box address at Thayer to receive mail from offices or departments within Dartmouth:

    YOUR NAME
    Hinman Box 8000

  • US Postal Service

    The United States Postal Service (USPS) picks up and delivers mail to Thayer once a day, usually in the mornings. Visit the USPS website for more information about the hours and services available for the Hanover Post Office hours.

    If you are receiving mail from outside of the Dartmouth campus, please provide the following address:

    YOUR NAME
    Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth
    15 Thayer Drive 
    Hanover, NH 03755-8000

    Any mail sent via the USPS should be addressed to a campus building or to a specific street address. USPS mail sent to an HB address will be delivered first to the Hinman mail system, then redirected, causing a delay.

Parking on Campus

All students who bring motor vehicles (eg. cars, motorcycles, etc.) to Dartmouth’s Hanover campus must register their vehicle with Dartmouth Transportation Services. You will be required to enter information about your vehicle, so please have your registration in hand while completing the online transaction. All vehicles parked in Dartmouth lots or parking garages during designated hours must display valid parking permits from the rearview mirror or on the vehicle’s dashboard.
