Mailbox Combinations

It is up to you to remeber your combination. I suggest putting it into your cell phone or in your agenda so that you will have it. There is a 24 hour wait on mailbox combinations after you have received it the first time, (generally on move in day) you will either need to come by the Post Office and add your name to the list, then bring your Cam-Card to pick it up.

Mailbox Security
1. MOST IMPORTANT: Spin the dial several times after you close your mailbox door. This will insure that your combination is not preset.
2. Do Not Preset your mailbox combination for convenience. You can never tell when or where a criminal will strike.
3. Never give your combination to another person. This will compromise your mailbox security.
4. Do Not let items accumulate in your box.
5. Always pick up your packages and mail personally.
6. If you see any suspicious activity, report it immediately to a postal employee or the campus police.

Summer information

During the summer we will make every effort to forward your first class mail to your permanent address.  If you would like to have your first class mail forwarded to a different address other thanyour permanent address, please come by the Post Office in the Cate Center  and fill out a green change of address card so we can forward your mail to you.  Otherwise, your mail will be forwarded to your permanent address that we have on file.  We will NOT forward second or third class mail, including magazines, newspapers, etc.  Please try to change your address with ALL of your correspondents so that you will receive your mail promptly.  This includes banks, credit card companies and magazine companies.

If you are graduating and need to change your permanent address, please change your address with the Alumnae office.  Otherwise, your mail will also go to your permanent address.

If you are in summer school and living on campus, your mail will be put in your new mailbox.  You may come by the mail room on the first day of the summer session to pick up your mail box combination.
