General Mailing Requirements

  • Bundle letters (four or more) with rubber bands facing the same direction (we have extras if you need them).
  • If you would like us to seal the envelopes, please keep the flaps up.

  • Very thick envelopes (with flaps that will not easily close) must be pre-sealed.

  • Keep foreign mail (which needs to be metered) separate from domestic mail.

  • Separate inter-campus envelopes, stamped envelopes, and postage-paid envelopes from all mail to be metered.

  • List your department (not your name) on all envelopes that need to be metered.

  • All bi-fold and tri-fold letters must be folded so that the document does not extend beyond the envelope's back flap fold and must be stapled in the right hand side corner.

    Mailing Times and Office Hours
    We accept outgoing mail until 2:30 p.m.  Mail is taken to the Post Office in time for all materials to be posted by 5:00 p.m. North County Campus mail may be dropped off at the 
    Administration Building, room 8002A.
