Mail Services

Mail Services is here to assist students with their letter and package needs. 

It is not an official U.S. Post Office, but it does provide many of the same services. This is where students come to collect their mail and packages, buy stamps and envelopes, send letters and ship packages. We offer outgoing shipping services from USPS, UPS, and FedEx.

Normal Schedule:

Monday - Friday: 9:30am - 4:30pm
(Note: please contact us if you need to make arrangements to stop by outside of these hours.)

Saturday: 11:00am - 2:00pm

Winter Break Hours:

Reduced Hours: 12/22, 12/17-29 - Open from 10am-2pm

CLOSED: 12/22, 12/25, 12/16, and 1/1

We reside on the bottom floor of McAfee, right next to Human Resources.

Look for the orange doors that say Mail Services!

In most cases, yes. Refer to the email notification you received and verify if the packages show the same locker number or different locker numbers.
