Receiving mail at your Service Center:

-->Fall Incoming Student Mail & Packages<--
The Service Centers will not accept incoming Fall Semester student mail and packages until Monday, August 12. Please plan accordingly, as delivery times vary by carrier. USPS ground can take a full week to get to campus, whereas FedEx ground generally takes three days. 

When a parcel is processed at the Service Center, you will receive an email from 'Student Mail Services' with the subject of 'You've got mail! Envelope at North Campus Service Center.'  If you haven't received this email, the Service Center has not received or processed the parcel.  If you have any questions, please get in touch with the Service Center at [email protected]

TIP: Always put your NetID in your mailing address.  Your NetID is the key piece of information that we use to process your mail and packages; not including it could result in slower processing times or a possible return to sender.
  • Service Centers will only accept packages that are 50 pounds or less.
  • If sending fresh food, write ‘Perishable’ in large letters on the parcel. As the Service Center does not have refrigeration, perishable items must be picked up the same day they are received, or they will be discarded.
  • Please note that the Service Center does not have refrigeration and is not a drop-off location for perishable food items (e.g., DoorDash, GrubHub, Instacart, food delivery) or other local delivery (e.g., Walmart, Target).
