Student mailboxes are intended for personal use and most mailboxes are shared by two students. Mailboxes for both services are located in the Smith Union and Coles Tower. All mail is picked up Monday through Friday at each location. During the academic year, U.S. mail is picked up Saturday in the Union as well. Packages may be sent from the Mail Center service counter via U.S. mail or U.P.S. Faxes also may be sent from the Mail Center.
Stamps are available from a stamp machine located next to the mailroom.
Campus mail is not a successful method of promoting programs or events. Meeting announcements and special events notices should not be stuffed into student mailboxes. Distribution for mass mailings is on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Since there may be a charge for distributing mass mailings, stop by the Mailroom to discuss possible costs and alternatives. Students who will be leaving Bowdoin for an extended time should notify the Mail Center staff.
