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.

Our campus uses an account card to recharge the department for postage.

To ensure your department or unit account is charged the appropriate postage, attach the laminated “PINK” card with the appropriate department name and account number to the outgoing mail. Please attach the card securely with a paper clip or rubber band.

Any mail sorted or delivered incorrectly to a department should be placed with the department's outgoing mail. If the problem persists, please contact the Mail Center to resolve immediately.

If the misdirected mail piece appears to be a payroll check, please call  ext. 2057 immediately, who knows — it could be your check we are looking for!
