Receiving Mail and Packages
Mail arrives around 9:30 in the morning, usually posted by 11:00. We receive most of our deliveries in the morning. UPS ground deliveries usually come in the afternoon. When you receive a package, you'll also receive a purple notice in your box. If you receive carrier notification that your package has arrived, please allow 30 minutes processing time before you check your mailbox for the purple notice card.
We receive deliveries from all carriers (USPS, UPS, FEDEX, LONE STAR, etc) and they only deliver to the campus post office. When sending mail or packages, it is important to include the student’s mailbox number on the item in order to avoid delay in notifying the student of its arrival.
