Receiving Mail.
Residents' mailboxes are located
behind the Information Center in each lobby of each building. In these
boxes, you will receive regular, United States Post Office Mail including
First class Mail and Flats (magazines, envelopes larger than 8.5 x 11
inches). Your mail is handled on-campus by Datrose, a private
mail-handling company contracted by the University. Mail is delivered to
your mailbox Monday through Saturday. Deliveries are completed by 2 PM
each day.
Receiving Packages.
Packages sent via UPS or U.S. Postal
Services are processed by
Datrose Delivery Systems. For information regarding this, please see the "Package Pick-Up
Process" described below.
Packages are delivered daily to the Package
Room, located in Sansom Place East, Room 222 (Phone: 3-1141). Datrose employees log in
packages and notify you in one of the following ways:
- If an email address
is on record, an email notification will be sent as soon as the package
is logged in.
- If no email address
is available, a hard copy notification is placed in your mailbox by
4p.m. the day the package arrives.
After the initial notification
you will receive two additional notices. If you do not pick up your
package within 3 days of your final notification, the package will be
returned to sender.
Package
Pick-Up Process. Once you receive notification that your package has
