What happened to my mailbox? Where do I pick up mail now?
What is this Virtual Mail system?
With the start of Fall semester, nearly all mailrooms and mailboxes* on campus have been replaced with a more flexible and streamlined system called Virtual Mail. Mail Services has implemented Virtual Mail in order to get students their letters, magazines, cards, and more, in a more efficient manner. All residential students (except Circle Apartment residents*) will receive their mail at the Phillips Hall Post Office, along with their packages. Students will get email notifications for First Class letters and flat mail, along with periodicals and magazines the same way as packages, and everything can be picked up in one easy visit at one central location. Plus, with our extended hours, students will be able to pick up mail later in the evening and avoid the busiest times of the day for the Phillips Hall Post Office.
*Mail and package pickups at Phillips Hall will not include Circle Apartments residents. The College Circles Mailroom will continue to be open for package pickups on weekdays, 11am-5pm, and Saturdays, 10am-2pm. Mail will continue to be sorted to College Circle Community Building mailboxes without email notifications.
Please visit our Mail Service webpage for more information about our services.
