ALL Students able to receive letter mail and trackable inbound UPS, FedEx, DHL and USPS items (fee applies to off-campus students). Every student actively enrolled and taking classes at UA are automatically assigned a 6-digit mailstop code (MSC#). This mailstop code (MSC#) is permanently assigned to the student and allows every student the opportunity to receive any trackable item at the mail center. The MSC# is assigned to the student and not based on where they are living.
For the safety and security of our students, mail and packages are NOT delivered directly to the residence halls or Greek houses. ALL deliveries are made to the Campus Mail Service Center.
We accept flower deliveries at Campus Mail. Please use the same address and information for those deliveries. Flowers must be picked up from the Student Mail Center and won’t be transferred to a locker.
