All undergraduate - commuters and residents - are issued a mailbox assignment when they enroll. Keys are distributed during registration. There is no cost unless the key needs to be replaced. The box assignment and address will remain the same for each consecutive semester the student is enrolled.

An address change form (to allow for forwarding of mail) must be completed by every student:

  • at the end of each school year - for summer forwarding
  • at the time of graduation or withdrawal from the university
  • at the time student goes on Leave of Absence

Incoming mail: Packages and mail are received from all carriers and distributed Monday through Friday. There is no delivery on Saturday or Sunday.

  • Beebe Post Office - Noon

  • University Mail Center - 2:15 p.m.

Outgoing packages can be processed at the University Mail Center in the North Street Annex.

Campus mail: Campus mail from University offices, professors, or students is delivered throughout the day. Campus mail requires no postage, but does require the recipient's name and box number.
