Students can now handle all their postal needs right on campus.
An express post office is now open on the lower level of the Spartan Bookstore in the Student Union. The post office began welcoming business during the winter break, offering customers all the benefits of a full-service post office with the exception of voter registration, express mail, post office boxes and the accommodation of packages up to 70 pounds. San Jose State University was approached by the U.S. Postal Service 18 months ago to open the site on campus in an effort to make up for the potential loss of future business due to the closing of the Colonnade location on Plaza de San Antonio between second and third streets. The Colonnade location was scheduled to lose its lease at the end of 1999. The Colonnade location served a large amount of university business, which the postal service hoped to continue servicing on campus.
