United States Mail is collected and distributed to the Student Mail Center Monday through Friday, and delivered to each resident's mailbox before 3 p.m. During your first week on campus, you should stop by the Mail Center, located on the second floor of Hinds University Center, to receive your mailbox keys. To ensure that your mail reaches you as quickly as possible, make sure that your correspondents have your correct address as indicated below. If any part of your address is wrong, your mail will take longer to reach you.

Cullowhee, NC 28723
If you have a mail problem, speak with someone in the Mail Center between 10:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. We are located on the second floor of Hinds University Center and can be reached by phone at: 227-3241.
UPS, FedEx, DHL and other outside courier packages should be picked up at the Student Mail Center between 10:30 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday
through Friday. Oversized U.S. Mail packages that will not fit into your mailbox can be picked up at the Cullowhee Post Office.
Small U.S. Mail packages can be picked up at the Student Mail Center. With each of
the types of the packages, a resident will receive a notice in his/her University
Email account as to where to pick up the package. All students must either check their
University Email or have it forwarded to an account which they check most often. In
any case, proper student identification must be shown.
When you check out of the residence hall, a Mail-Forwarding Address Card must be completed if you want your mail forwarded to you. Mail Forwarding Cards are
removed from the active file after one semester. Mail addressed to individuals who
do not have an active Mail Forwarding Card on file will be returned to sender. Mail
will be forwarded according to United States Postal Service Guidelines.
Summer Term Mail Pick-Up
Please note that although mail is not delivered to the individual boxes during the
summer term, students may pick up their mail from the Student Mail Center front window
during designated hours.
