Frequently Asked Questions

Where is my student mailbox, and how long will I have it?

Each undergraduate student is assigned a mailbox, located adjacent to the mail room in Templeton Student Center. That box assignment will remain with the student for the duration (4 years) of his/her Lewis & Clark College enrollment.

What happens to my mail if I study off campus or take a leave of absence?

If a student goes on a Lewis & Clark Off-Campus or Overseas Program, their mail will be forwarded to the address provided by the Overseas Office.

If a student takes a Leave of Absence, they should contact the Mail Services with a forwarding address.

What happens to my student mailbox during the summer?

Student mailboxes will be closed in the summer months unless a request for continued service is submitted to Mail Services. Students will receive an email from Mail Services mailsrv@lclark.edu about a month before school is out in the spring to explaining the procedures for summer mail.

When does my mail get put in my mailbox and what happens if it is too big to fit?

All incoming mail is stuffed in student mailboxes on the day it arrives on campus. If it is too large to fit in the box, a notice in the box will direct the student to the service window for pick-up.
