Mail and Package Procedures Effective 1/1/2021
Students Returning for Spring 2021
Due to the time it takes to forward mail & packages no mail will be forwarded after January 1, 2020.
- Flat mail will be delivered to students’ mailboxes.
- Packages will be held in the package centers and can be picked up when you return to campus at the end of January. Students who receive packages during this time will be sent an email notifying them of the delivery.
Students who no longer live on campus
Flat Mail
First Class Mail will be forwarded to the forwarding address on file within the UB HUB Student Center. Students without a forwarding address on file will have mail forwarded to their permanent address. If no forwarding or permanent addresses are on file, or it has been longer than one year since you resided on campus, the mail will be returned to the sender.
We are not able to forward Standard and Non-Profit mail, these types of mail will be disposed of as per USPS guidelines.
Please keep your forwarding and permanent addresses up to date in HUB.
Packages
USPS packages can be forwarded to the forwarding or permanent address in HUB - with the forwarding address being the first option.
NO other carriers including UPS, Fed Ex, Amazon, etc. forward packages. Packages sent by carriers other than USPS will be returned to the senders.
Flickinger Court
Flickinger Court residents have flat mail and USPS package services provided directly by the United States Postal Service. All issues with mail or package delivery should be directed to www.USPS.com.
Packages delivered by third party vendors, ie. UPS, Fed Ex, Amazon, etc., will be held at the Community Center until early February. Students who receive packages during this time will be sent an email notifying them of the delivery.

Forwarding Your Mail
As you prepare to move out of your on-campus residence, please make sure to update your mailing address in the HUB Student Center (via MyUB).
If you do not complete your mail forwarding information, any USPS flat mail sent to your on-campus residence may be returned to sender or forwarded to the permanent address you have on file with the university.
Rules and regulations about package forwarding are made by the individual vendor. For information on package forwarding after move out, please contact the agent that delivered your package.
Flickinger Court students are also encouraged to complete a mail forwarding card with the United States Postal Service (www.usps.com).
Delivery Delays
Due to increased safety measures in response to COVID-19, there may be longer delays in mail and package delivery for fall 2020. Although you may get notification by a third party vendor that your package has been delivered, it still may take Campus Living several additional days to process your package. Students should only pick up their package after being notified by Campus Living that their package is available for pick-up.
