Announcements

In an effort to beat the “Fall Rush” of packages delivered to the Student Mail Center each year, Columbia Mail committed to delivering all bulk packages – measuring at least 4 cubic feet or 20 pounds in weight – ordered before August 27 to residence halls in advance of student move-in.  

Student Mail introduces Smart Lockers: After-hour access to important mail or packages. Located on the lower level of Wien Hall, lockers will be available upon request.

How it works: 

• Lockers are accessible only when the Student Mail Center is closed.
• Locker space is limited and so usage is prioritized for critical needs, such as: 
  • medication (non-perishable only, lockers are not refrigerated)
  • time-sensitive materials (e.g. employment documents, identification)
  • items of high value (e.g. cell phone, laptop)
• There are 28 lockers in total, the largest being 22x16x13.5 (LxWxH). Over-sized packages are not eligible for lockers. 
• To request a locker, students should reply to the email notification received when mail or a package has arrived.
• Lockers cannot be reserved for mail or packages before they are received and processed at the Student Mail Center.
• Students that are unable to reach high or bend down should indicate that a mid-level locker is needed.
• The email request must be received by 3:00 p.m. the day the locker is needed in order to be considered. 
• By 5:00 p.m., Student Mail will send a confirmation email with a 6-digit pin to open the locker.
• If the item is not picked up by 9:00 a.m. the following morning, the item will be removed from the locker and returned to the Student Mail Center for pick up. The student will not receive further email notifications.
