Mail-in-Motion - Regulations

All mail is distributed by mail employees only.

All mail must conform to size limitations and proper folds as stated on our website.

If there is more than one item to an individual mailing, the pieces must be put in an envelope no smaller than a No. 6 envelope. This means no attaching candy or any item to a piece of paper for distribution. For example: A bag of Hershey kisses are individually wrapped in a bag and can be placed in a mailbox as is. An individual Hershey kiss or lollipop, a miniature candy bar taped to a note or card will not be put into the mailboxes.

All mailings over 50 pieces must be registered in advance. First registered, first served.

All mailings 20 pieces or more must be in mail box order and have a return address. This helps us return mail when the recipient is not here, and lets the sender know that the recipient does not receive the piece of mail. Helpful hint: when bringing a mailing over 20 pieces but not more then 50 put a rubber band around them to keep them in order. When students are not busy we usually place these directly into mailboxes.

We will not distribute any mail that is brought to us with a post-it-note attached. All items must have a readable name and box number adhered so that it will not easily fall off. This includes notebooks and books. NO STAPLES!

The mail room is not responsible for any money that is distributed.

Professors returning papers of 20 or more need to sort them in numerical order, folded in half or thirds with the name and box number visible as well as a return name. Mailings of 50 pieces or more must be pre-registered 24 hours in advance. Print a distribution registration form in PDF format.

Any questions please come to the window. Thank you.
