  • Standard mail is not eligible for forwarding and is discarded.
  • Packages are returned to the sender as they cannot be forwarded. 
  • All periodicals (newspapers, magazines and similar publications) will be discarded, as they cannot be forwarded.
  • Be sure to contact the publisher 4–6 weeks before the end of the semester to permit uninterrupted service.
  • If you are remaining on campus for any duration of the summer, your mailbox will remain open.
  • If you are staying in the local area and would like your mailbox to remain open, please email the Post Office with the dates and your mailbox number.
