CCU Mail Services for Students
Mail Services operates as a Contract Postal Unit of the U.S. Postal Service in the City of Conway and offers almost all products and services of a regular post office, plus mail processing for students who live in University Housing and interoffice mail delivery for faculty/staff.
Mail Services picks up student mail and packages from the Conway Post Office and then processes it on campus before inputting it into the University mail tracking system. Generally, mail is processed by 2 p.m. Students are strongly encouraged to wait until they have received an University email alerting them that they have mail available at the CCU Post Office before proceeding to Sands Hall. Mail Services does not permit the early release of mail – no exceptions.
All mail including packages are processed through the CCU Mail Services tracking system. Students will receive an email in their Coastal account alerting them that a piece of mail and/or package has been received at the University's Post Office for them. Students will then retreive those items from the pick up window located inside of Sands Hall. Students will need to bring their CINO Card ID to retrieve their items.
