DOCUMENT MAILING INSTRUCTIONS

 

You have the following mailing options in order to receive a document from the International Students & Programs Office (ISPO) through mail:

  • Standard Domestic Mail: for free mailing of documents within the U.S.
  • Express and International Mail: for paid mailing of documents outside the U.S., or for faster delivery of documents inside and outside the U.S.

If you need to update/change your delivery address for a specific document, email the new U.S.-based address to istudents@ucsd.edu . If your new delivery address is outside the U.S., then follow the instructions for international mail in the drawer below.
