Please check your mail every day. The Department of Housing and Residential Life will use your campus mailbox to distribute important and time-sensitive information such as break / closing information, receipts, and other such documents. It is your responsibility to check your mailbox.

NOTE: Distribution of items through your mailbox constitutes proper notification. As a result, you are encouraged to check your mailbox daily. The Area Office is equipped to handle package delivery from the United State Postal Service or other delivery services. Federal Express, UPS, and other carriers deliver packages daily. When a package arrives addressed to you, a slip is placed in your mailbox notifying you of the delivery and how to claim your package.
