When requesting documents such as the I-20 from the TCNJ Center for Global Engagement (CGE), you have two mailing options:
a) Airmail free of charge (which may take anywhere from two to four weeks), or
b) Express Mail Service via eShipGlobal, an express mail service with which the CGE works. (Students must pay for this express mail service. The CGE recommends this option.)
If you would like to use the eShipGlobal express mail service, please follow these instructions:
- Visit the eShipGlobal website (Please use Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox web browsers).
- Please fill out the registration form: you will need to be prepared with the email address you will use for the communication from this company, mailing address and phone number. After registering, within 30 minutes you will receive an email requesting that you activate your account. This activation is required for you to begin using the account.
- Please follow the instruction in the email you receive to activate your account. Once the activation process is complete, you will receive another email confirming this fact.
- Please prepare the shipping label: for this step you must have already activated your account. Select “Receive a Package From Universities,” then “New Jersey” from the map of the United States, next “The College of New Jersey (TCNJ)” and finally “Center for Global Engagement.” This will ensure your shipping label is received by our office. Once you get to this step, you will need to have your mailing address (U.S. or foreign), phone number and email address. If you know your TCNJ PAWS ID number, please feel free to use it. If you do not, please contact our office and we will provide it to you. At the end of the screen, you should select “ship/quote.” You will receive a quote and have the option to choose your carrier – FedEx or DHL. At this stage, you will also be able to select your method of payment (i.e. credit card or wire transfer). Please pay close attention to the information submitted on these screens, as errors in the credit card information or submitting incorrect or incomplete address information will result in a delay in the mailing of your documents.
- The final email you receive from eShipGlobal will be confirmation of your order. This email will provide you with detailed information about your shipment (i.e. payment amount, tracking number, mailing address, etc.). CGE will receive a copy of this email at the same time as you, so there is no need to forward us the information.
If you experience any difficulty in registering and processing the shipment, please use the “Help” link in the site for step-by-step instructions. If you have additional questions about how to use this service, please e-mail support@eshipglobal.com. For all other inquiries related to your immigration, please email goglobal@tcnj.edu.
