Email
Use the Email option on this page. Ask Penn State to remove your name and mailing address from alumni appeals, fundraising mail, and promotional print. Include the address as printed on the mailer.
If sending your opt-out request by email, use this helpful template for Penn State University:
Hello, I'm writing to request that Penn State University permanently remove my address from all direct mail lists, including lists you keep and any rented or third-party lists used to source your mailings. The name and address to remove as they appear on a recently delivered unwanted mailer: [NAME] [ADDRESS] [CITY ST ZIP] A few notes for your direct mail team: • I have never subscribed to marketing communications from Penn State University. • Since I haven't opted in with you directly, the source is most likely a rented or co-op list. Please also flag this address with your list partners so it's suppressed at the source. Please confirm in writing once the suppression is complete. I've attached an image of the mailer for reference. Thank you, [NAME]
Replace the bracketed fields ([NAME], [ADDRESS], [CITY ST ZIP]) before sending. Attach a photo of the mailer if you have one, and keep the reply for your records.

Call +1-814-865-4700 and ask to be removed from marketing and fundraising mail lists. Have your mailing address ready. A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on hold time and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
Allow 8 to 12 weeks for alumni magazines, appeal letters, and campus promos to slow down. Penn State may still send transcripts, billing, employment notices, and mail tied to active student or donor accounts.
Updating alumni records or making a new gift can add you back to print campaigns.
Why Do You Receive Penn State University Mail?
The Pennsylvania State University is a multi-campus public research system headquartered at University Park. psu.edu reaches prospective students, alumni, and donors across Pennsylvania and beyond.
You get this mail after you applied, graduated, donated, or matched an education-related prospect file. Web privacy policy AD53 routes privacy statement questions through a central inbox, which is why fundraising and privacy contacts can share the same published path.
How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively
DMAchoice — DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers’ mail preference service. An $8 registration asks participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from Penn State University as it is not an active member of the ANA.
OptOutPrescreen — OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for five years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of Penn State University mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.
PaperKarma — For local mailers, university appeals, and senders DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app contacts opt-out departments from a photo of the mailer label.
