  • All of the student mail is typically in mailboxes by 2:00 pm.

The Green Card

When items arrive that are too large for the mailbox, a green card is put into the student’s box to alert them to the arrival of the item. On a typical day green cards are in the student’s mailbox by noon.

Green cards are also placed in the mailbox when an item arrives that requires a signature such as UPS or Federal Express. When you receive a green card you can pick your item up at Shipping and Receiving in the lower level of Murray Herrick. You will need your Green Card to pick up the item. Large items that require the use of a cart will need a driver’s license to be held until the cart is returned.
