Why Rent a TCU Box?
Many students rent a TCU Box as first year students and continue to rent the same
box the entire time they are attending TCU. This allows them to maintain the same
mailing address, no matter how often they change physical addresses. In addition,
many students will ship household items and clothes to their TCU Box early for move
in. We will hold packages in a secure and accessible location at the Post Office for
pickup on the day of arrival.
Rental Fee
Rent a TCU Box for $55 a year. The fee covers the period from May 15th through the
following spring semester. If you rent a box any time during the year, the fee is
$55 and the rental period terminates May 15th. For your convenience your TCU box will
be
automatically renewed
each year.
