Mail 101

General Information

  • University Mail Services only delivers mail to campus boxes. We do NOT deliver to street addresses, offices, labs or room numbers.
  • Every University employee is assigned a campus box based on their department.
  • ALWAYS include your campus box number in your address.
  • If you do not know what your campus box number is, please contact your department’s administrator to find out.
  • Every campus box has a “key holder” who retrieves the mail for the entire department.
    • Please check in with this person first if you are looking for a piece of mail or package.
    • If you do not know who the key holder is for your department, please contact your department administrator.
  • We intercept and deliver all USPS mail, but we sometimes make the final delivery for private carriers such as UPS and FedEx. Therefore, it is a best practice to always include your campus box number in your address.
  • When we receive a mailpiece or package that does not have a campus box number listed in the address, it causes a delivery delay because we have to look up the recipient in the campus directory to find their campus box number.
