Mail Room
Department Mail
The United States Postal Service (USPS) mail is generally sorted by 9:30 a.m. into department mail boxes each week day.
Residence Hall Mail
There is one mail box per room. Students with roommates should discuss how mail will be handled. Mail room hours and outside-of-hours pick up will be posted at the hall desk. Packages are delivered to the residence halls; however, students are able to pick up packages from the Mailroom (must present MSU ID).
Apartment Mail
Mail is delivered to each apartment's mail box in the respective building. Apartment residents must pick up packages in the Student Center as apartments do not have a mail room in their building for secure package delivery.
Sending USPS Mail & Packages
All mail, envelopes and packages, must be tendered as ready to send. For example, taping and addressing boxes is your responsibility.
The Mail Room provides common USPS services; First Class stamps, Priority Class parcel postage, etc.
Cash and check are the only forms of payment accepted.
USPS mail pick up is 3:00 p.m. daily Monday - Friday.

Student packages are delivered to each residence hall’s mail room in those buildings by end of day. Students are also able to pick up their packages from the Mailroom (must present MSU ID).
Apartment Packages
Campus apartment residents must pick up packages in the Student Center as apartments do not have a mail room in their building for secure delivery. Notification emails are sent to MSU email addresses once packages arrive at MSU.
Sending FedEx or UPS
Departments sending FedEx or UPS packages must complete the shipping form which provides details for package processing. Please tape or secure the form to the package. Only FedEx or UPS shipments require a shipping form.
