Two representatives from each tutorial are elected to the council at the beginning of each term. Elections for the summer term will take place on Wednesday, June 17th , following the tutorial.
Mailboxes and Campus Mail
Mailboxes for new students will be assigned by June 10th. Please ask the switchboard operator for your box number and combination. Continuing students’ box numbers and combinations will change for the summer term.

If you expect to receive mail from outside the college, you should publish your address as NAME, ST JOHN’S COLLEGE, 1160 CAMINO CRUZ BLANCA, SANTA FE, NM 87505. Please do not use your box number or include the Graduate Institute in your address or it will delay delivery of your mail.
Bookstore
