Mail & Communication
Students who will be residing in the residence halls
should have their mail sent or forwarded to them
addressed as follows:
Your Full Name
NECI – Student Mail
56 College Street
Montpelier, VT 05602
Upon arrival to NECI, each student living oncampus
is issued a specific mailbox number that
should be included in the above address. If you are
leaving for internship or finishing up classes, please
take the time to make direct contact with any
subscriptions, friends, family, personal bills, etc.
with your forwarding information to let them know
of your new address. Mail will not be forwarded
after your departure.
NECI student mailboxes are shared - each mailbox
is shared by two students. Mailbox assignments are
random and do not correspond with roommate
assignments. All students are obligated to follow
USPS regulations, making it a felony to tamper
with mail that is not their own. All students that
have a campus mailbox will be required to sign an
agreement committing to follow USPS regulations
before receiving their mailbox assignment. Students
who do not comply will not be assigned a campus
mailbox and cannot receive mail on campus.
Student mailboxes are prioritized for students living
on-campus. Off-campus/commuter students may
request a student mailbox on a space-available
basis. For off-campus/commuter students who
would like to request a student mailbox, please
contact the Coordinator of Student Services at
orientation to make an official request.
Further, all students will be issued a NECI student
email account, which they are expected to access
daily and are required to use for all electronic
communication within the NECI community. In
most cases the email address will be:
firstname.lastname@student.neci.edu
Student Identification Cards
All students will be issued a NECI student
identification card at orientation. In addition to
providing general identification for students while
on campus, this ID card provides students entrance
to some secured kitchen facilities, as well as meals,
library checkout, the fitness club, and student
discounts. Students authorized to work at NECI
