Please be advised that specialized jobs (requiring special paper types) may require additional time. In person drop-offs or pickups should be done by essential staff only at the College Post Office window.

Please also note that construction in Decker has resulted in limited access to the College Post Office. Currently, The College Post Office is ONLY accessible via the middle-level entrance (near the ATM machine).
