Mail Services
All students, residents and commuters, are assigned a mailbox when they enroll. New on-campus students will receive their mailbox key when they arrive on move-in day. Commuting students will be notified when their key is ready for pickup at the Student Resource Center.
There is no mailbox cost unless the key needs to be replaced. The assigned mailbox will remain the same for each consecutive semester the student is enrolled. An address change form must be completed by every student at the end of each school year and at the time of graduation or withdrawal from the college to allow for forwarding of mail.
Incoming Mail
Packages and mail are received from all carriers and distributed Monday through Friday. There is no delivery on Saturday or Sunday.
Outgoing Mail
A letter drop-off box is located near the rear entrance of the Administration Building. Outgoing packages can be processed at the Administration Building.
Internal Mail
Campus mail from PBC and Mannahouse offices, faculty, or students is delivered Monday – Friday. Internal campus mail requires no postage but does require the sender’s name and recipient’s name and mailbox number. Campus mail can be dropped off in the drop box next to the student mailboxes. For security reasons do not drop mail containing cash or items of value in the box.
WARNING: Failure to include your mailbox number in all incoming mail or internal mail (such as assignments), may result in severe delays or returning of your mail.
Mailing Addresses
On-campus student addresses should appear as follows:
Name of Student
Portland Bible College
9150 NE Fremont Street, Box #
Portland, OR 97220
Summer and Winter Breaks
Mail will be held through all breaks including the summer break unless a forwarding address is left with the office.
Non-returning students
Mail will be forwarded for 30 days if a forwarding address form is filled out. After 30 days all mail will be returned to the sender.
On-campus students who have utilized their mailboxes as their primary mailing address, must file a change of address form with the United States Postal Service. This can be done online through the USPS portal: https://moversguide.usps.com. Failure to complete the form will result in mail being returned to sender.

Key Returns
Dorm Room keys may be returned upon checking out of your dorm directly to your dorm leader or to the Campus Pastor’s office. MIDI Lab Keys must be returned to the head of the PBC Music Department. Mailbox keys should be returned to the Student Resource Center.
Key Renewals
All students are required to renew their key the week before the end of each semester or upon student withdrawal.
