• no-reply@assetpanda.com, you need to pickup the package at the Mail Center window Monday-Friday.

Be sure to check your clutter or spam folder if you haven't heard from the Mail Center. 

If your package is to be picked up at the Mail Center window, present your One Card and sign for the package. 

If your package is in a smart locker, you'll scan the QR code in the email you received, verify your identification, sign for the package and a picture of you is taken.

If small enough, packages may be placed in the student’s mailbox. Periodically check your student physical mailbox for letters and small packages. 

All on campus mail is delivered free of charge and should contain the following information:

(Department or office)

Place this mail in the interoffice mail slot in the lobby of the Mail Center.

During the academic year, students have access to their mailboxes or the smart lockers in the Mail Center lobby. The Mail Center window is available from 8:30 a.m.- 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.

The US mail is distributed to the mailboxes by noon Monday-Friday. Mail distribution may be delayed on Mondays, and following holidays or official school closings, as the volume of incoming mail is much greater. Campus mail is distributed to departments throughout the day, as it is received.

Stamp sales, shipping, and any other paid services are available between 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday at the Mail Center window. No credit card or Pickle Dollar sales will be available after 5 p.m. The Mail Center window is closed on Saturday and Sunday. 

Any other adjustments in Mail Center hours will be communicated to campus via a UNCSA Campus announcement.

New Students: About two weeks before arriving on campus, new students are assigned a UNCSA mailbox. Students are notified by email or can online through the Student Housing Portal.

Students will receive the combinations for their mailbox when they check in as a new student. Students are encouraged to put their combination in their cellphone. Combinations are also available in Student Housing Portal.

Note: All students both residential and commuters are assigned a campus mailbox number, which they keep the same mailbox assignment during their whole time as a student at UNCSA.

Directions for using the combination:

Step 1 – Start on the first # in the combination. Turn LEFT four times & stop the fourth time at that number.

Step 2 – Now, turn RIGHT & pass the second # in the combination once & stop on the second number the second time around.

Step 3 -  Turn LEFT directly to the third # in the combination.

Step 4 -  Now turn RIGHT a really hard to open

• Keep your mailbox number and combination confidential.
• Don't preset your mailbox combination for convenience. Spin the dial several times after closing your mailbox door. This will ensure that your combination is not preset.
• Don't let items accumulate in your mailbox.
• Students should always close and secure their mailbox door. Loss or damage to mail in unsecured boxes is the responsibility of the student.
• Never give your combination to another person. This compromises your mailbox security.
• Report suspicious activity to a Mail Center employee or the UNCSA Police immediately.

Bring the package to the Mail Center window taped and addressed. The Mail Center staff will give you several options and prices to compare and even make suggestions, if you like. They do not have packaging for sale, but a resource area is in the Mail Center for individuals receiving a package to leave their empty box and packing materials for others to use. The Mail Center accepts credit cards, or Pickle Dollars for payment.

Yes. The Mail Center carries first-class, postcard and international stamps. Purchases are at the Mail Center window.

As long as you remain a student, you will retain the same mailbox number.

When graduating or leaving UNCSA, it is the students’ responsibility to contact family, friends, businesses, etc. to permanently change their mailing address.
