Can we get mailing labels from the university?

To request lists or labels send an email to UW Madison Data Request in the Office of the Registrar, uwmadisondatarequest@em.wisc.edu at least two weeks in advance of your mailing. Include your name, Email address, Student Organization, the purpose of your request, billing name and address, the population you are mailing to (all students, undergraduates only, etc.) and the directory data you would like to receive (name, home address, email, etc.) There is a flat fee of $35 per list for Registered Student Organizations and an additional cost of $0.03 per label if requesting labels. Prices are subject to change.

Upon clarifying and approving your request, the Office of the Registrar will send you the list in Excel format to the email address you provided unless a different format is requested.

Mailing Labels for Students of Color

In order to ensure confidentiality of student information, the Dean of Students Office handles mailings to students of color. If you wish to do a mailing to students of color, start the process by submitting your request to Yolanda Garza, 75 Bascom Hall, 608/263-5700, instead of the Office of the Registrar. Bring a draft of the letter or flier you want to send with your written request, indicating what specific group of students you’d like to mail to and for what express purpose, including how payment will be made, to Dean Garza. If the label request is approved, the Dean of Students Office will contact the appropriate offices that would process the mailing utilizing electronic address labeling. No mailing labels are actually released to student organizations. The request should be made at least two weeks before the communication needs to be mailed.

Mailing Labels for International Students

If you are trying to contact International students, contact Marilee Sushoreba at International Student Services (ISS), 217 Red Gym, or by email at sushoreba@odos.wisc.edu. ISS does not provide student information directly to registered organizations due to the confidentiality of information by citizenship, but the office is willing to transfer information electronically from organizations to students. The request should be made at least two weeks before the communication needs to be mailed.

Information by ethnicity and citizenship represents confidential information. Therefore, policies for ensuring confidentiality with respect to information on students of color and international students must be strictly maintained.

Can we use University Bulk Mail?

To use University Bulk Mail Services, your group must be registered with the Student Organization Office. Information can be found at UW Extension Mail Services.
