Student Post Office (SPO)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Information Students Need to Know as School Begins<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Student PO Box (SPO) will be assigned to all students living on campus. SPO box numbers and combinations will be available on 1600Grand<\/a> after the first week in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would prefer to receive an e-mail notification for your mail and claim any items received at the service window check “no” on the SPO Request<\/a> form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students living off campus will not be assigned a SPO unless requested. Students living off campus will receive an e-mail notification when mail has been received, directing you to pick up the items at the service window (similar to the package notification). You may fill out the SPO Request<\/a> form if you need a SPO during the school year. If you are studying abroad this fall and need a SPO next spring, fill out the request now. The SPO request deadline for students not living on campus is Aug. 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mailing Services and SPO boxes are located in the lower level of the campus center. We offer most services available at a conventional Post Office, including selling stamps, sending mail, and shipping packages, both domestic and international.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All students are reminded that they can be more sustainable by switching to electronic statements for their bank and credit card statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
