RESIDENCE HALL MAIL AND PACKAGE DELIVERY
Mail and parcels sent to on-campus residents are received by Distribution Services, sorted, and distributed to
residents from one of two places. A description of both distribution points can be found below:
RESIDENCE HALL FRONT DESK: Mail sent through the United States Postal service (USPS) and not requiring a
signature will be received, sorted, and forwarded to the front desk of the recipient’s Residence Hall. Mail will then be
distributed into the student’s mailboxes by front desk staff. For larger parcels, notices will be placed in the resident’s
mailbox notifying them to pick up their package at the front desk. NOTE: Signature waivers are not recognized by
Distribution Services.
PACKAGE CENTER: Items sent through a shipper using a tracking number and requiring a signature will be delivered
directly to Residence Hall Packaging Center. NOTE: Signature waivers are not recognized by Distribution Services. An
e-mail will be sent to the student via their Cal Poly e-mail address notifying him/her that a package is being held at
the Residence Hall Package Center. To pick up packages, residents must present a photo ID and a copy of the e-mail
notification to the staff at the Package Center. To receive e-mail notifications, residents must have activated their Cal
Poly e-mail account. Those students who have not picked up their unclaimed parcels will be contacted with a second
notice. If the parcel is still unclaimed after seven days, it will be returned to sender. For best service, it is highly
recommended that packages and sensitive mail be sent using this process
RESIDENCE HALL PACKAGE CENTER is located behind the Sequoia Residence Hall (Bldg 108).
