Internal Mail Pickup and Delivery

We deliver once a day to departments. At that time, the outgoing mail will also be picked up. To help facilitate getting your mail processed in a timely fashion, we ask that your outgoing mail be prepared as follows:

  • Please have all mail facing in the same direction.
  • Please have the flaps up if they have to be sealed.
  • Separate out any pieces that need air mail (internatioinal) postage.
  • Keep inter-campus and outgoing stamped mail separate from metered mail.
  • Please separate all mail requiring special service (i.e. Certified, Insured, Registered, Overnight, etc.).
  • Please make sure your department name is on the envelope.
  • Please write legibly to avoid delays in your mail delivery.
  • Letters to students need to have a name, class year and mailbox number.
  • Letters to faculty, administrators or staff need the recipient's department.
