Mail Services handles all incoming mail for the University at Albany, including residential student, business, and faculty/staff mail. Over 4 million pieces of mail are processed yearly through our facility, located in the basement of the Business Administration building, room B4.

Mail is received early in the morning, Monday through Friday, from the U.S. Postal Service, and the sorting process begins. Incoming mail is sorted by class. First class mail receives first priority, then periodicals and lastly standard, or "bulk" mail.

The Mail Services Department is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM during the academic year, and from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM during the summer.
