Incoming & Outgoing Mail

All College mail, including student mail, is received and processed by the Mail & Print Center, Monday through Friday.

Incoming Mail

  • Mail is not delivered to any of the residence halls.
  • Students will be notified by the Mail & Print Center via email when their package is available for pickup.
    • Please note: An email notification from the merchant (Amazon, USPS, UPS, FedEx, etc.) does not mean the package is ready for pickup. All packages must be processed by the Mail & Print center first before distribution.
  • Mail must be addressed to students using their legal name and to their assigned mailbox number. Fictitious or nicknames are not accepted as they cause a delay in delivery. 
  • Students must present photo identification in order to pick up all mail and packages (Accepted identification: Student ID, Driver's License/State ID or Passport)
  • Students unable to pick up mail may send an authorized person to pick up mail. Students must email the Mail Room with the authorized person's full name. Photo identification of the authorized person must be presented in order to pick up mail or packages.

Outgoing Mail

  • Outgoing letters and small packages may be placed in the door letter slot for mailing.
  • Outgoing letters and packages must be labeled and have postage in order to be mailed out.

Mailboxes

  • Mailbox use is only for enrolled students
    • Please note: If a student has mail addressed to their mailbox for a temporary visitor or guest, it must be addressed in the care of the student to prevent it from being returned to the sender. The mailbox is not to be used for business enterprises
  • Mail Room personnel will gladly answer mail room questions or assist with combination or mailbox problems (All assigning of mailboxes are done in person, no exceptions)
