Quick and efficient delivery of campus mail can be made by following these preparation guidelines:
- Separate all campus mail from the outgoing domestic and international US Mail (mail to be metered must be placed in a separate tub).
- Please do not use staples to seal envelopes.
- Use blue or black ink, or labels (if possible).
- Make sure that contents are secure by tucking in the flap or sealing the envelope with tape. This prevents smaller pieces of mail from becoming inadvertently inserted into larger ones during handling.
- Band mass campus mailings (50 or more pieces) by building. For example: 21 pieces to Sibley Hall, 18 pieces to Goldwin Smith Hall, 34 pieces to Mann Library. Please call ahead (254-8284) if you have more than one tub.
- Use the complete campus address and avoid abbreviations; many buildings on campus share the same name—for example, Olin Hall, Olin Lab, Olin Library.
You cannot use Campus Mail for the following items:
- Personal mail (catalogs, greeting cards, food, or other items unrelated to university business)
- Books, tubes or odd-sized items
- Cash (or other negotiable paper)
Cornell Mail Services is responsible for auditing campus mailings to be in compliance with relevant university policies. Mailings may be reviewed for consistency with these policies. Campus mailings not in compliance can be removed from the mail stream. See the Mail Guide for complete campus mail guidelines.
