Frequently Asked Questions
Where is my student mailbox, and how long will I have it?
Boxes numbered 4001-5160 are located in the lower level of the Beebe Residence Hall. Boxes numbered 5361-5990 are located in the SUB by the bookstore. You are assigned a mailbox when you first enroll at George Fox and you keep the same box assignment as long as you are enrolled.
What happens to my mail if I study off campus or take a leave of absence?
Your U.S. Mail will be forwarded and campus mail will be returned to the sending department.
What happens to my mail during the summer?
If you decide to keep your box open all summer, your mail will continue to go to your box. However, if you close your box for the summer, your U.S. Mail will be forwarded and campus mail will be returned to the sending department.
When does my mail get put in my mailbox?
Mail is sorted and distributed throughout the day.
What happens if I receive an item of mail too large for my mailbox, or if the item requires a signature?
When students receive an item of mail requiring a signature, or the item is too large to fit in their mailbox, University Mail Services acts as the agent. Teal-colored package notices are distributed to the student's box. The student must bring the package notice and photo ID to the University Mail Center to claim the item of mail and sign for it.
How long is my mail forwarded after I graduate or leave school?
According to USPS regulations, we forward First Class mail for one year. You must contact your magazine suppliers with your new address.
What do I do if I lose my mail box key?
Come talk to an employee in Mail Services. They will have you fill out a form and you will be given two weeks to find your key. In the meantime, your mail can be held in Mail Services for you to pick up. After the two weeks a new key will be cut, for which you can pay $10 by cash or check, or charge to your account for $15.
How do I ship a package to my son/daughter at George Fox University?
We receive U.S. Mail and other carrier packages daily at the University Mail Services. Use the address format as listed on the main University Mailing Address Page. Be sure to include the student's name and box number in the address to avoid delays.
