Mail box assignment
- Due to the need for the University to communicate with students
who live on campus, we are providing all resident students with
mailboxes.
- As of fall 2011, mail boxes are assigned to all incoming
resident students.
- If you do not have a box, you cannot receive mail at SMU, all
mail will be returned to sender.
- If residents have not been assigned a mail box, Baran and Burton
residents may open a box in Spangler Hall, or Old Main.
Mail forwarding
- At the end of fall and spring semester, each box owner needs to
submit a mail forwarding slip to the mail room.
- After graduation, residents should provide the SMU Mail Room
with a forwarding address, if they wish to continue to receive mail
being sent to their SMU box.
Parcel slips
When a resident receives a parcel (any mail that does not fit in the
mail box) they will find a parcel slip in their box. In order to
retrieve this parcel, they must present this slip and photo
identification to the Mail Room.
