Common questions
What is Harvard's mailing address?
Harvard University, Harvard College Admissions & Financial Aid, 86 Brattle Street, Cambridge, MA 02138. Undergraduate (Harvard College) admissions and financial-aid documents. Confirm the office address on Harvard's official contact page before anything deadline-driven — admissions and registrar offices sometimes use a different PO box.
Where do I mail admissions or application documents to Harvard?
Send them to the admissions office. Use the admissions address listed above. Include your applicant ID or Common App / application number, and mail well ahead of the deadline — the postmark or receipt date is what counts.
How do I send an official transcript to Harvard?
Official transcripts usually go to the admissions or registrar office in a sealed envelope from your prior school. Address it to Harvard at the office above (or the registrar, if given), and check whether Harvard also accepts secure electronic transcripts — many do.
Can I mail a letter to a student living at Harvard?
Yes, but a student in residence has their own campus mailbox address (residence hall + room or mailbox number), which is not the same as the office address above. Ask the student for their exact residence mailing address; the school's housing or mail-services page also explains its format.
Will someone read my letter or write back?
University offices route incoming mail to the right team, so a correctly addressed letter does get handled — but a personal reply isn't guaranteed. Including your return address, an ID or reference number, and a clear request gives you the best chance of a response.
How do I mail Harvard a letter without a printer?
Write or upload your letter to PostPal with the address prefilled. We print it, add your return address, and mail it for you — no printer, stamps, or post office trip needed.
