arrangements are made prior to the holiday break:

New Design on Intra-Campus Mail Envelopes
Campus Mail Service is in the process of introducing new & improved Intra-Campus Mail envelopes to the University community. The improved design allows Campus Mail Service to be able to provide accurate and efficient sorting/delivery of Intra-Campus Mail items. Users simply complete the BOX # information needed in the 3 empty blocks in the mailstop code column on the envelope (870 _ _ _).
Intra-Campus Mail is sorted and delivered according to established mailstop codes/BOX numbers. Campus Mail Service does not sort or deliver mail by "building/room #" type addresses. Mail that is vaguely addressed could delay the delivery of your mail or result in having the mailpiece returned to you for a deliverable address.
A complete listing of departmental mailstop codes/BOX #'s can be found here.
Complete sender information is also important in the event that the mail is not deliverable as addressed. When using a Intra-Campus Mail envelope, be sure all previous addresses have been marked out to ensure proper delivery. The address you are mailing to should always appear on the last line below the previous address on a Intra-Campus Mail envelope. When you are not using Intra-Campus Mail envelopes to send Intra-Campus Mail, please do not include a city, state and ZIP Code line in the address. This will help identify your mail as Intra-Campus Mail and avoid confusion with USPS mail. A complete name or department and their BOX number is all that is needed to insure proper delivery.
As a departmental standard, all Intra-Campus Mail that is picked-up today is delivered to the destination mailstop the following business morning.
NOTE: Intra-Campus envelopes should only be used for the sending of University business correspondence through the University's internal mail system and should not be used by departmental runners to transport items across campus.
Campus Mail Service is dedicated to providing quality customer service and asks for your cooperation with this initative.

The Postal Service is alerting customers mailing items to Canada they must comply with strict Canadian Customs and postal administration addressing requirements.
All postal items (except postcards) that do not display the complete name and address of both the sender and the recipient—in roman letters (A, B, C) and arabic numerals (1, 2, 3) are being denied entry into Canada. Sender or recipient identification such as “Grandma” or “Aunt Ruth” is not acceptable and are among the causes of mail being returned.
According to Canadian officials, this action is pursuant to the Canada Customers Act and reflects heightened security measures.
Accordingly, addresses to recipients in Canada should be printed in ink or typewritten in capital letters, and the last line of the address must show only the country name, written in full, and in capital letters. When a Canadian postal delivery zone number is included in the address, mailing requirements allow that number to appear as the last line of the address.
Customers also are reminded that complete and legible customer declarations—along with required import documentation—must be provided to specifically identify the contents of any package. General descriptions such as “gift” or “present” are not acceptable.
Because international mail is subject to Customs examination in the country of its destination, when you ship items internationally you might need to complete and submit Customs Forms declaring the contents and their value.
You can now fill-out Customs Forms online by clicking here.
