Mission Statement
The Central Connecticut State University Mail Services Department carries two primary responsibilities within its main mission:
1. Pick up and distribute campus mail between various locations throughout the university.
2. Receive and distribute incoming U.S. mail, and to deliver prepared outgoing U.S. mail to the U.S. Postal Services New Britain facility, as well as special preparation forwarding via commercial carriers. Both of these functions are for the official internal business of the university and are not intended to be used for personal or private business purposes.
Mail Location
The Mail Services Department operates from two locations: the main sorting and processing office in East Hall; and the satellite facility in the Student Center (for student mail only) .
East Hall Main Office Hours:
8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Mon thru Fri
All resident student mailboxes are located in the Student Center*. Boxes are also available for commuter students to rent. See the Mail Services attendant in the Student Center.
Resident Student Mailboxes
In order to be assigned a mailbox and a mailbox lock combination, all resident students (including those who previously had a mailbox assignment) must come to the Mail Services office at East Hall (Bldg #26 on the Campus Map) with your C.C.S.U. ID card. Your assigned mailbox will remain the same for the duration of your residence at the university. It is very important that your mailbox be checked regularly because much important information from the university will be sent to your campus address exclusively. Please call Mail Services at 860-832-2528 with questions or comments. Failure to secure a campus mailbox will result in your
not receiving any mail that may be addressed to a university address. This mail will simply be returned to the sender. For those students who already have been assigned a campus mailbox, please be sure to check for your mail frequently. Mail not picked up will be returned to the sender.
How to Avoid Delays
- Use recipient's first and last name
-Include department name in address
- Put outgoing mail in proper mailbag
- Date your mail
- Use appropriate envelopes
- Write legibly
- Use campus delivery address (utilizing appropriate
building names/codes - see the campus map -) for
inter-departmental mail
- Allow sufficient time for large mailings to be processed
Delivering
Student Mail
Student mail is sorted into box numbers by the USPS at New Britain,
and then the presorted bags are picked up by CCSU personnel
each morning at 7:30 AM for distribution to the Student
Center student mailboxes. By 3:00 PM of each day mail will
be available for retrieval. If you receive a parcel
that is too large to fit the mailbox, a notice will be
provided, and this notice is to be given to the Mail
Services attendant, along with a student I.D., in order to
receive the item. In the event that notification is
given for receipt of a piece of traceable mail, i.e.
Express, Registered, Certified, UPS, FedEx, a student I.D.
as well as a signature will be required at the point of
pick-up.
This is a better choice if mailing between state agencies; and can be used at no cost to your department. The state-operated Inter-agency Courier Service offers a 24 hr. maximum delivery time for inter-agency mail and packages weighing 30 lbs. or less. Simply address the envelope or package as you normally would, and clearly mark it "Courier Service."
