Incoming US Mail

Incoming U.S. Mail is delivered by the USPS each morning, Monday through Saturday (excluding federal holidays). The mail is then sorted and delivered to each department according to our route schedule on the day it is received. Central Mail sorts mail according to department name, not individual name.


Personal Mail

Personal parcels received at Central Mail will not be delivered. Departments should inform personnel that receipt of personal mail in the office is to be discouraged.

Outgoing Postal Fees

In order for Central Mail to charge departments for postage, departments are required to follow the guidelines set forth by the Administrative Guide to Services below.

  • All University mail must have a University of Oklahoma return address or it will be returned to the department.
  • Any official University mail to have U.S. postage affixed by Central Mail that does not have the account number indicated on each envelope should be bundled and have the account to be charged identified on the top piece or a separate piece of paper.

Mail Sorting

Outgoing mail will be sorted by the guidelines set forth by the Administrative Guide to Services below.

 

  • All mail to be picked up by Central Mail should be faced (meaning all envelopes placed where the address may be read without turning them over and/or upside down).
  • On-campus mail, stamped outgoing mail and mail to have postage affixed should be separated and each group rubber banded together.
  • Mail received in a department for delivery elsewhere on campus should be marked with the corrected address and rubber banded together.
