Campus Mail and Courier Services

Mailing Services provides this service to all departments on all campuses, twice daily. Campus mail is picked up between 8:15 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. Courier Services will pickup and deliver packages pertaining ONLY to mail to other departments or to the Print and Mail Center located on the Mountaintop Campus. Packages weighing less than 50 lbs are eligible for this service. Packages weighing in excess of 50 lbs or over 108 inches in combined length and girth, require special arrangements with One Source at 8-3970, and there is a charge for their services.

Interoffice Mail

Inter-Office mail consists of correspondence from a campus address for delivery to another campus address. To provide proper delivery, internal mail requires a recipient's name and box number (for student mailboxes), department name, building number and room number if available. This may sound like a simple thing; however, by addressing your inter-office mail into a preferred format, YOU can virtually eliminate lost, slow, or misdirected mail.

DO NOT deposit Campus Mail in a U. S. Mail receptacle; this could result in the complete loss of the item or the Postal Service charging postage due.

If you are changing departments, a change of your internal location must be acted upon promptly. As soon as you learn of your relocation, send a note or E-mail to Payroll. Be sure to include the effective date of the change, and your new and old department.

Plain Envelopes - If addressing internal mail in white envelopes, please have CAMPUS MAIL printed or written in the upper right corner since such mail can be mistaken for U.S. Mail. This will enable us to identify the envelope as campus mail.

Inter-Office Envelopes - These are envelopes that are used repeatedly for in-house or internal mailings. When using inter-office envelopes, make sure the previous marking has been completely blocked out to ensure proper handling and direction to the intended recipient. The addressee is always to appear on the last line. Do not address between previous markings. These envelopes should not be used for U.S. Mail.

Multiple Page Items - Multiple page memos, letters, magazines, books, reprints, newsletters, etc., should be inserted into inter-office envelopes to facilitate handling. This will prevent single page correspondence or small pieces of mail from becoming trapped between the pages of multiple page items.
