We are currently holding all first class mail and packages that arrive for on-campus students. 
New and returning on-campus residents (not Circle Apartments):  We will begin sorting mail into mail boxes opening weekend.  You may pick up mail at the Mail Center until then if you are an early arrival.   

Circle Apartments residents:  We will begin sorting mail into the Circle Apartment mail boxes 8/19/13.  Squatters have had mail sorted into their mail boxes throughout the summer.

Off-campus students should provide their local address to the Registrar's office.  Mail Services does not hold mail or packages for off-campus students.  These items will be sent to your permanent address, your local address or returned to the sender depending on the courier that delivered it.

Lastly, monitor the address that you have on file with mail order companies before you click "place order"!   We forwarded or returned over 100 packages over the summer due to incorrect addressing.
