Ideally this might be a home address or your new halls of residence - we don't recommend having valuable items delivered to the halls of residence as it may be difficult to get them securely signed for. If you don't have a suitable address where your items can be securely delivered please contact the Access Service using access@sheffield.ac.uk to arrange a suitable collection point.
