Student Mailboxes

If you haven’t been assigned a mailbox yet, there’s a reason. The labels for the mailboxes have been on back-order for the past three weeks and we anticipate receiving them soon. We appreciate your patience during this time while we work to remedy this situation. As soon as the Office of Student Services receives the labels, we will work as quickly as possible to restore the mailboxes. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Lunch is provided.
