Stay connected to your student

A care package can instantly brighten a student’s day and provide a burst of encouragement as they juggle the demands of classes, tests, projects and learning to live on their own.

Families are welcome to send cards, letters and packages to their students on campus.

If you want us to help, UPIKE Family Connections, in partnership with DormRoom, provides linen and care package programs.

Your student will be notified via email or text message when their care package is ready to be picked up from Student Success or the Campus Mailroom. Linen purchases will be shipped to your home address.

Visit UPIKE DoomRoom to place an order.


Mailing to Residence Hall Students:

Families are welcome to send cards, letters and packages to their student on campus. If there are questions about mail, encourage your student to speak to a staff member in the UPIKE mailroom on the ground floor of Wickham Hall near the student lounge.

Letters/Cards/Packages:

The mailroom will email students to let them know they have a package. Packages shipped to a student that require a signature will not be delivered to campus, and students must pick up the package at the U.S. Post Office located at Pikeville Commons, 281 Thompson Road, Pikeville, KY 41501 (five miles from campus).
