Additional Student Mail and Package Info
Remember to check your package notification email to confirm your parcel center pickup location. Read the notification carefully. It may contain special instructions that direct you to a different location during peak times.
You might receive a delivery email from your package carrier. This just means that your carrier delivered your package to the Student Mail warehouse and still needs to be processed and delivered to the correct parcel center.
We appreciate your support as we continue to evolve the student package experience to bring you added convenience, expanded services, greater access, and an increased level of safety. Thank you for your feedback and support.

How long can packages be held at the parcel centers?
- Packages can be held at the parcel centers for 5 business days before the student receives a second alert to pick up their package. If packages are failed to be picked up within the next 3 business days, the packages may be returned to the sender. Depending on the time of year, hold times may be extended.
How are campus mailboxes assigned?
- Students living on campus are assigned mailboxes through their Residential Life office.
