  4. Assigning Mail Boxes
    All new students will be assigned a UC mailbox whether they live on or off campus. If you did not receive a number and combination in the mail, it will be available in the Mailroom. Returning students should reactivate their old box numbers by signing in at the Mailroom when returning to campus. Professional student's mail is collected and distributed in each school (except for professional students living in Vandervelden Court).

  5. You Share Your Mail Box With Another Student
    This means you will have mail in your box that is not yours. Please respect your box-mate and do not throw any mail away that is not addressed to you. If this becomes a problem, or if you receive mail that is not yours or your box-mate's, please return it to the mailroom staff.

  6.  Packages
    When you receive a package, we will put a notice in your box. In order to pick up packages at the mailroom, you must present a current Pacific University student identification card. Packages are available for pick up during service window hours.

    We sell stamps, as well as weigh your outgoing packages to determine mailing costs. Please note: Campus Mail Services accepts cash only.

    U.S. stamped outgoing mail may be dropped in the slot below the mail service window OR in the United States Postal Service drop box located in front of the University Center building. If you require additional postal services the Forest Grove US Post Office, is located 2 blocks west of campus at 1822 21st Ave, Forest Grove, OR 97116.
