• If you have not received your package and you believe that it should have arrived, bring a tracking number and we will try to locate the package.

Mailboxes, Keys, Locks

• When students arrive on campus for the first time, students will be required to sign up for a mailbox.   There is no charge for signing and receiving a key. 
• Students keep the same key and the mailbox number the entire time they are enrolled at Lincoln.  When students graduate or withdraw, please turn your key back into the mailroom.  Do not turn the key in to anyone else. The Mailroom is not responsible for those keys.   It could result in a $100.00 charge on your account.
• You receive a key free of charge, you are required to check your mailbox with your key.  We do not hand mail through the package window. NO KEYS!  NO MAIL!  NO EXCEPTIONS!
• Clean out your mailbox at least once a week, failure to do so can result in losing your mailbox privileges
• Lock changes due to lost keys cost $100.00
• If you lose your mailbox key, report it immediately to the Mailroom

Outgoing Mail

• Outgoing mail is to be placed in the Black Drop Boxes located in the Mailroom area
• Cross out all previous names or markings. Recipient’s name should be clearly identified.
• Outgoing mail that is leaving campus is to have the department name to ensure proper billing.  Any mail that does not have an identifying sending department will be opened to determine the sender.
• Large envelopes must be sealed.  #10 envelopes may be left unsealed and the flaps can be up or down.
• For staff: when using a Purchase Order number or when using FedEx, UPS, or placing large orders: include “Attention Receiving” in the address.
