Campus Boxes Closing May 15

submitted by longj@augsburg.edu

As we near the end of another year please don’t forget to take care of your campus mailbox. This includes checking it for any mail, returning your lock and filing out the survey for what you would like us to do with your mail after this semester.

One weeks after the spring semester ends (on May 15, 2025) we will close all student campus boxes unless you responded to the End of Year survey. If you would like your mail forwarded or would like to keep your mailbox open for the summer, please fill out the form
(https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeA6NyaiFZI2pFW_1SD6hEHCflfjaZ00b1ZRyzbqLNKp78SXA/viewform?usp=header).

Before the fall semester starts we will reassign campus boxes to all residential students. Without completing the survey, it will most likely be a different number.

We are only able to forward 1st Class USPS mail. Packages must be looked at case by case. Some USPS will allow forwarding. (Reply to the Augsburg package email and we will look at that package.) Other packages (UPS, FedEx, Amazon, etc.), magazines, non-profit mail and standard mail will not be forwarded. We can also only forward to USA addresses. The forwarding period for the Augsburg Mailroom is two months from when the request is submitted. Afterward any additional mail we receive will be returned to sender.

We request that you contact the people/business sending you mail and update your address with them. Augsburg is classified as a business so you will not be able to do so through the US Post Office itself. Enrolling in online/electronic bills or statements can also be a smart option, it is environmentally friendly, secure and will often save you time (and sometimes money). Asking us to forward your mail does not change your mailing address with the USPS or Augsburg University, just with the Mailroom.

End of the year Campus Box survey

Office Moves and Mail/Package Deliveries

submitted by longj@augsburg.edu

If you are changing office spaces please let Central Services know once you are in your new space so we can make sure your mail and packages will continue to reach you.

Mail Room
The campus boxes are mostly assigned to the whole department and delivered to the department office or work hub. If the new office will be near the same location, we will not need to change anything with your campus box. If the whole department is moving we will need to update where the department campus box is delivered. If it is just part of the department or a single person we will talk to see if opening a personal campus box or changing what department box your mail is delivered to will work best. If your department would like to change to the be on the mail run or to picking up their mail from their campus box please email mailship@augsburg.edu and talk with Jeni Long.

Shipping/Receiving
Packages are delivered to the location listed for you in the Inside Augsburg Directory. During the academic year we will try to deliver to people’s personal offices first and will then deliver to the department’s office/work hub unless a different delivery location has been previously set up by the department. During the summer we will deliver to the department office/work hubs. The package system, QTrak, is normally updated once a month. Please email IT to have your information updated, Central Services does not have access to update the Inside Augsburg Directory.

If your department would like to change how the whole department receives mail or packages please email mailship@augsburg.edu and talk with Jeni Long. If you would prefer to pick up your packages instead of having them delivered to your department office, please let us know you would like to be added to the Do Not Deliver list by emailing mailship@augsburg.edu.
