Receiving Mail

An ID is required to pick up items at the window.

Every on-campus student and department is assigned a box. It is the box holder's responsibility to check his/her mail on a regular basis. Mail items and packages too large to fit in the box are held at the window, and a notice is placed in the box.

Address Changes

Mail will be forwarded for 6 months from the date we receive your change of address card. We will forward First Class mail and parcels mailed through USPS. We are not allowed to forward magazines and newspapers. Parcels from UPS, DHL, FedEx, etc. will also not be forwarded. We do not forward mail during spring break, fall break or between semesters.

If you move off-campus, you must inform the Registrar of your new local address.

Departmental Information

The reduction in time and postage expenses by using our bulk services can be dramatic - usually more than 50 percent, compared with first-class!

We can save your department a substantial amount of time and money. In addition to billing your department directly for postage, we offer advanced bulk mail services. We can fold, stuff, seal, presort and address almost any mailing.

We are also happy to review your overall postage expenses and can often suggest additional ways to reduce your costs. Contact us to schedule a consultation.
