Restrictions Regarding Personal Package Delivery to the University

Support services provided by Central Receiving are for delivery and pickup of packages related only to University business. Official University packages are defined as those required for the purpose of the University and are limited to items necessary for the conduct of the sender's official University responsibilities. Since packages are sorted and delivered through Central Receiving, shipping and receiving personal items to the University is not permitted as state resources cannot be used for personal matters. Additionally, the University cannot assume the liability for receipt of personal deliveries.

Here are some alternatives to having deliveries sent to your office:

  • Make arrangements with family or friends to receive your package while you are at work.
  • Make alternate arrangements for receiving your packages such as:
    • Customize your delivery with FedEx to other convenient locations that have "Hold at Location" service.
    • Manage your package deliveries through the U.S. Postal Service with its "Informed Delivery" service and request re-delivery of mail you missed receiving.
    • Change your UPS package delivery location both before and after an initial delivery attempt.
