Mail/Packages

 

Mailboxes are located next to the Service Desk of the Buildings 1, 3, and 6. Please make sure that friends, family, and associates know your correct building address– improperly addressed mail is considered misdirected and may not be able to be delivered. Packages and overflow mail are received at the Service Desk. However, packages that are not picked up within a two-week period will be returned to sender. It is also important to have your email set up in order to receive notification that a package has been delivered.

New residents can begin receiving packages as of August 22 through the end of their lease. An email notification is sent when a package is received. Be sure to set up your account through Testudo so that you can get these notifications. When you retrieve a package from the Service Desk, be sure to bring your photo ID so that your package can be released to you.

 Mail Forwarding

We recommend that filing a change of address with the Post Office when you move in and move out of your apartment to minimize the interruption of mail service.

Upon move-out, please complete a Change of Address form in a local Post Office or online at the USPS website (There is a $1.00 service fee charged by USPS for completing the Online Change of Address process.)
