Address

In order to properly conduct university business, Duke University requires every student to keep accurate and current address information on file. With the exception of addresses linked to campus post office boxes or residence halls, students can update all of their own address information via ACES Web.

There are several types of addresses that students are required to keep up to date. The address usages and requirements are somewhat different for undergraduate students versus graduate professional students:

UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS

Mailing Address: This is where university correspondence will be sent during the academic year.

Permanent Home of Residence: This is where a student officially resides while not in school. Official university mail will be sent to this address in the summer and during school holidays. All bursar invoices are sent to this address, regardless of time of year.

Local Residence: This is where a student physically resides during the academic year.

Emergency Contact: This is the address used by the university to locate a student-designated individual in the event of an emergency. Both an address and phone number are required.

 

GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL STUDENTS

Mailing Address: This is where all university correspondence and bursar bills will be sent to, regardless of time of year.

Local Residence: This is where a student physically resides during the academic year. This is required only if different from the mailing address.

Emergency Contact Address: This is the address used by the University to locate a student-designated individual in the event of an emergency. Both an address and phone number are required.

If the above required addresses are not current or correct, Duke University reserves the right to place restrictions on students' records until the addresses are updated.
