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.
