• USPS mail and intra-campus mail processing:

  • Both types of mail are sorted and distributed into the 2,200 keyed mailboxes by 11:00 AM daily.  Mail to outlying offices is delivered twice daily; outgoing mail from these offices is also picked up at the time of delivery.  This outgoing mail, including bulk mailings and intra-campus mail, is processed continuously throughout the day.  Please refer to the Policies and Procedures section for further information.

• Classes of mail dispatched:

  • First Class, Priority Mail, Express Mail, Parcel Post, Media Mail, Library Mail, International Mail, and Standard (Bulk) Mail

   

• Mail piece design and large mailings:

  • Mail center staff gladly advise departments on the design of mail pieces, as well as the "how to's" for large mailings (200 or more pieces), to help with maximum time and cost efficiencies

• Stuffings:

  • These are identical flyers or brochures which, typically, do not contain individual names or addresses.  They are simply “stuffed” into all mail boxes or into those specified by the department.  Please see Policies and Procedures for information on the types of stuffings that are permitted.

• SmartMailing (for bulk mailings):

  • This is a method of addressing envelopes and newsletters with the most up-to-date mailing addresses, along with the correct bar-coding.  Departmental address lists are first verified electronically for the most current information.  Then, the addresses, including bar codes, are printed directly onto mail pieces or labels.  This eliminates the need for hand-addressed or stick-on addressed labels, saving time and money.  The three classes of mail offered including First Class, Pre-sorted First Class (minimum of 500 pieces), and Pre-Sorted Standard (minimum of 200 pieces—least expensive rate).  The Mail Center staff is available to review potential mailings with you to verify that the format and paper used are compatible with SmartMailing.
