Mail Delivery

  • Campus receives mail for campus departments from the USPS (United States Postal Service) Monday through Friday only.
  • On average, the campus receives 3,100 pieces of mail daily which is manually sorted by department.
  • Mail is normally delivered the day following its arrival on campus. The occurrence of a holiday and/or long weekend, results in a higher volume of mail being received and an added day for processing.
  • Mail sent from within California typically arrives on campus within 4 business days while out of state mail usually arrives in 5 business days. However, it is not uncommon for mail to take up to 2 weeks to arrive on campus.
  • Mail delays occur due to incorrect or incomplete address information.
  • Use of the department ZIP+4 code increases the efficiency of mail sorting and delivery.

It is strongly recommended that any items that are time sensitive or have significant value be sent using an overnight service such as UPS or FEDEX. These overnight services provide tracking which provides for a better shipping experience.
