Be sure to notify the Registrar's Office of your address changes as well.

Mailbox Security

• To open your mail box, spin left (counter clockwise) all the way around to clear the lock, continue left to your first #, spin to the right to your second #, spin left again to your third #. To open the door, spin a bit more to the left and pull open.
• MOST IMPORTANT:Spin the dial several times after you close your mailbox door to lock it. This will insure that your combination is not preset. Do not leave your mailbox combination preset for convenience. This will compromise your safety and privacy.
• Never give your combination to another person. This will compromise your mailbox security.
• Do not let items accumulate in your box.
• Always pick up your packages and mail personally.
• If you see any suspicious activity, report it immediately to a postal employee or the campus police.
