Campus Mail Center

Delivery and collection schedules for approximately 90 offices are established by the Campus Mail Center based on building locations, mail volume, vehicle patterns, and the U.S. Post Office schedules.

• Entire Campus: 10 a.m. - noon pick-up/delivery services
• High Volume Customer: 1 p.m. additional pick-up/delivery services
• Kehoe Building: 3 p.m. pick-up at the 1st floor red mailbox, at the rear of the building.

Services after a holiday, due to a larger mail volume, is in the morning only, and at the 3 p.m. Kehoe Building gray mailbox.

It is our goal to have all the mail sorted and delivered daily, and all mail requiring shipping and metering out of our facility at the close of business. Sometimes, we need to prioritize our work and the following priority list dictates our workload most of the time:

• USPS First Class Mail sorted and metered
• Express mail: Federal Express, DHL delivered and shipped
• Standard Mail (bulk mail)

Student mail is processed at the Student Mail Center

When sending mail to another department, it is imperative to correctly address the envelope so it can be delivered correctly. Please follow these guidelines in sending out on campus mail:

• Use the reusable inter-campus mailing envelopes available from the Campus Mail Center: 10"x 13" or 11"x 4"
• Line out all old names, and write the name, department, building on this envelope.
• If using a regular envelope (new or used), at the top right corner write three XXX's. Write the name, department, and building on this envelope.

Mail with an illegible address may be opened for identification purposes by the Mail Center personnel.

General distribution items are memos, flyers, etc., that must reach all departments on campus, but do not need to be individually addressed. A sponsoring department must be named in each distribution and the memo/flyer must be of “Official College Business.”

Please bundle all flyers together per office/department for sorting distribution.

The Campus Mail Center does not forward incoming U.S. Mail sent to department faculty or staff.
