USPS Mail – Residence Halls and Jones Hall

USPS letters are delivered to hall offices in residence halls and Jones Hall daily (Monday through Friday). Letter mail is usually placed in mailboxes in the afternoon or early evening. Questions regarding mail can be directed to Hall staff within the building.

Packages, Registered Mail, FedEx, and UPS Packages – Residence Halls and Jones Hall

Packages, registered mail, FedEx, and UPS are delivered to Mail Services Distribution Services located in the General Services Building (open 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Monday - Friday). Students will be notified via email or telephone when a package arrives for pickup/signature. A valid UE student ID and signature are required before packages are released for student pickup. For security reasons, student IDs are matched to the shipping name prior to package release.

Perishables: It is not advised to send perishables or medicine for arrival over the weekend or during breaks as there is no service available during those times.

UPS Drop Boxes are available outside of the Bookstore delivery door to the left of the service lane. Learn more about UPS Drop Boxes.

Mail and Packages in Village Properties – Village Apartments, Houses, and Townhouses

Mail and packages are delivered to external mailboxes by USPS personnel. USPS, FedEx, and UPS deliveries are handled directly by the corresponding service provider. At times, USPS may leave a small brownish peach and/or green slip that indicates that your package must be picked up at the post office located on Washington Avenue.

Special Deliveries – Flowers, Edible Arrangements, Birthday Muffins, etc.

Special occasion deliveries are best to be scheduled during the standard work week. When placing a special order, vendors should be provided with the student's hall, room, address, and cell phone number for the delivery label. We prefer that the vendor contact the student directly by cell to arrange delivery. Additional support is provided by Student Life staff for Valentine's Day.

Summer - Sending Packages and Mail prior to Move-in Dates

Due to storage and staffing limitations, mail and packages should not be sent any earlier than two weeks before the first day of classes. Items arriving prior to Wednesday, August 9, 2023, may be returned to sender.

Please note that full service mail deliveries may not be made until the Thursday prior to the regular August opening date (on new student move-in day for the August SOAR). As normal mail delivery is not available prior to that date – check with residence life staff to retrieve priority items (medication, essential paperwork, etc.)

Mail Forwarding

Students living in University housing can request that UE forward mail to a new address on UE Self-Service.
