Mail Services Questions/Problems
Mail Services can answer all your mail related questions.
Shipping Your Belongings to Campus
If you plan to ship your belongings to campus in September, the address to which you should address your packages depends on the method of shipment. If you choose to use the U.S. Postal Service the item(s) should be shipped to your campus mailing address (see "Your Mailing Address" above). If you choose to use any other carrier, packages should be addressed to your residence, i.e. your residential college, dormitory building, and room number.
Timing of Packages
Please plan to mail packages no sooner than one week prior to the start of classes. Packages that arrive too early may be returned. We also suggest that you do not ship items such as furniture until you have had a chance to see your room.
U.S. Post Office Package Delivery Pick-Up
Packages sent by U.S.Post Office will arrive at the University Package Room located in the Frist Campus Center. Notification will be sent to you via e-mail when a package arrives in your name. See the Mail Services website for hours of operation.
