In keeping with the College policy stating that "only items pertaining to College business can be sent through the campus mail system", the mail service department will begin issuing personal package notification cards.
Information on the card will include staff/faculty name, department, sender's name, and date received. Personal packages are available to be picked up at the mail center between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday by showing proper ID and the package notification card.
Realizing that staff and faculty may have security concerns about packages being left at their home address, the mail service department is facing an increasing daily number of packages from Ebay purchases, LTD, ABC Distributors, various clothing stores, coffee companies, and catalog companies. Utilizing mail service staff, time, resources and safety should not be expected in the delivery of personal packages.
If a package notification card is received in error and it is a legitimate College purchase, please call the mail center at 4-3371 for delivery.
