Mail Services at CCA

Pitzer students at CCA will still have a box number at the Pitzer mail center. Pitzer at CCA students can ALSO have things mailed directly to CCA.

CCA does NOT have a mail center and mail/packages are delivered to their USPS mailbox or directly to the student’s door if it is a package. USPS packages may be placed in the USPS package lockers, but all other packages will be delivered directly to the student’s apartment door.

Therefore, CCA students CANNOT pre-ship items to CCA. CCA students can pre-ship things to the Pitzer mailroom still. Each building at CCA has a different mailing address.
