Vacation Breaks

Only First Class mail will be forwarded between semesters.  We will not forward standard mail between semesters or during Thanksgiving and Spring Vacations.  Letters and packages arriving via common carrier will be held until your return.

Mail received over the summer break is handled in the following manner:

• All First Class mail will be forwarded to the address on record.
• Standard mail is not eligible for forwarding and is discarded.
• Packages arriving via the US Postal Service will be forwarded to the address on record.  UPS, FedEx, DHL and Airborne packages are returned to the carrier as they cannot be forwarded. 
• All periodicals (newspapers, magazines, and similar publications) will be discarded, as they cannot be forwarded.
• Be sure to contact the publisher 4–6 weeks before the end of the semester to permit uninterrupted service.
