U.S. Postal Service First Class residential student mail is received Monday through Friday mornings (except holidays when classes are not in session) in the main mail facility and sorted by residential quad: Dutch, Colonial, State, Indian, Empire Commons, Freedom and Alumni. All student first-class mail is date-stamped with the date it is received in Mail Services. The mail is then taken to the quads the following day for distribution to student boxes. A one-day delay exists between when student mail is received at the University mail facility and when it is delivered to student boxes.

All quad mail is processed by Mail Services staff. Mail is in student boxes by 1:00 PM, Monday through Friday. If a mail piece doesn't fit in the box, it will be held at the main mail facility's package area, in the basement of the Business Administration building, room B4. A notification card will be placed in the box the day after the mail piece's receipt, notifying you to come to the package window to pick it up.

WHERE WILL OTHER MAIL BE DELIVERED?

All express mail items (USPS Express Mail, UPS Next-Day and Second-Day Air, FedEx Overnight, Airborne and DHL Express) for residential quad students are received in the main mail facility, Business Administration, B4. Facility staff will place a call to your campus phone the same day as the item's receipt to notify you of its arrival, if your phone number is on the item.  Otherwise, you will receive a notice in your mail.

Insured, certified, registered and postage-due items arriving from the Postal Service are also kept at the main mail facility. A notification card is sent to the student mail box the following day for these arrivals.
