The University has entered into a partnership with UPS to better facilitate the delivery of packages to students living in residence halls. UPS will attempt to make regular deliveries three times; if unsuccessful after the third attempt, Campus Mail will deliver all packages received from UPS that do not need a signature directly to the residence halls where they will be distributed via the residence hall system.

UPS will continue to make three attempts at delivering packages requiring a signature to a residence hall. If unsuccessful, after the third attempt the package will be delivered to either Perkins Event Services or the Trabant Copy Center (see below). Campus Mail will send e-mail notification to students explaining where their package(s) may be picked up. Packages will be held at both locations for seven days before being returned to sender. Students can pick up packages at both locations between the hours of 8:30 A.M. and 12:00 P.M. and from 1:00 P.M. until 4:00 P.M. Monday through Friday.

The program will operate during the academic year, beginning on September 10, 2007.
