Operational Method

University Mail Services operates from a centralized facility in J. Walter Wilson. The undergraduate student and department mailboxes are at this facility. All U. S. and campus mail is distributed through this mailbox system. Mail Services truck provides parcel delivery to all departments and limited first class mail delivery/pick-up service. Departments not receiving first class mail delivery must collect mail from their department mailboxes.

Outgoing university business mail is processed through a postage "charge back" system. A completed Metered Mail Card must be submitted with all mail requiring postage. When outgoing mail is received, the mailroom weighs, prices, and applies postage. The calculated postage is 'charged back' to departments from entries recorded on the mail cards.
