There are so many things to do as the semester ends, don’t forget about your mail! We offer the following suggestions to help provide continuity in your mail-related services.
Begin notifying the publishers of magazines and newspapers you receive where you will be in May. Their toll free numbers and web sites are usually listed in the front or back of the publication. This mail class is not forwarded by the USPS from our College. The USPS notifies the publishers of the permanent address we provide on the publication and then discards the mail piece.
Mail and packages must be picked up from the residence hall mail rooms (except College Circle Apts.) by 4:00 p.m., Friday, May 18th. After that date all mail will be moved to the Mail Center located in the General Services Building. Packages that have not been picked up from the Phillips Hall Post Office by 4:30 p.m. Friday, May 18th will also be moved to the Mail Center, where they can be picked up on Saturday, May 19th from 9:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Beginning May 21st, all mail and packages will be forwarded to your permanent or new local address. Packages sent via UPS, FedEx and DHL are returned to the sender (these are the courier procedures).
We cannot accept reused liquor boxes or boxes that previously contained hazardous materials for shipments sent through UPS or FedEx, even if you cover up the previous markings. The USPS (the Phillips Hall Post Office) does accept these boxes if this information has been covered. The Phillips Hall Post Office is open from 8:00 a.m. – 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.
United States Postal Regulations prohibit shipments containing alcohol, and we are not authorized to ship alcohol through UPS or FedEx.
Students working on campus during the summer must fill out a “Hold at the Phillips Hall Post Office” card, if you do not want your mail sent to the permanent address on file after graduation day.
If you have any questions or we can be of additional assistance to you, please contact us at the Phillips Hall Post Office during regular hours or call us at 274-3371. Thank you.
