Mail & Packages
Packages
Packages for residents at Engelhart and McManus are logged at the front desks and students receive a notification once their packages are ready for pick up. Please note that during opening there is a 2-hour delay on the notification emails. Make sure you wait until you receive an email from "Pitney-Bowes" before stopping by the front desk for a package. Proper identification must be provided to pick up a package.
Packages for Garrett Place residents are received and processed at the Mail & Package Center at Foster-Walker.
Each apartment is provided with a mailbox in the lobby of their assigned building. Apartment keys will open the mailbox. Mail is processed and sorted into mailboxes Monday-Friday at Engelhart and McManus. Garrett Place mail is delivered directly to mailboxes by the US Postal Service (USPS).
When you move out of the building, please update your address in CAESAR in order to assure that your first-class mail gets to you in a timely manner. USPS also provides a forwarding service when you file for a change of address on the USPS website.
