Mail

The Student Post Office, located on the lower level of the Hofstra University Bookstore, Mack Student Center, North Campus, provides basic mail services. Student Post Office transactions and pickup hours for the academic year are Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m.-4:45 p.m.; Friday, 11 a.m.-3:45 p.m.; and Saturday, 11 a.m.-2:45 p.m. (Summer and holiday hours may vary; call the Student Post Office for information.)

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) delivers letters and packages that do not require a student’s signature directly to the residence halls Monday through Saturday. All packages delivered to the residence halls, regardless of size, are left in the Resident Assistant (RA) Office. Students receive a package slip in their mailbox that informs them that they can pick up their package when an RA is on duty in the office each evening between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. To pick up a package, students must show their Student ID and sign for the package.

The USPS, as well as couriers such as FedEx and UPS, delivers letters and packages that require a student’s signature to the Student Post Office Monday through Friday. Please allow 24 hours for a package to process and be ready for pickup once it arrives on campus. A student must present a valid Student ID at the Student Post Office to claim a letter or package. When the Student Post Office is closed, packages will be accepted by the next business day for processing.

Weekend deliveries (by the USPS or courier) of letters and packages that require a signature are held at the Student Post Office until Monday for processing and still require up to 24 hours for processing. Students who have medications and/or prescriptions shipped to their residence must notify the Student Health Center. Students can pick up signature-required mail on Saturday or Sunday, with a valid Student ID , at the David S. Mack Public Safety and Information Center, South Campus.

Letters and packages that require a student’s signature and are not claimed by the end of each semester are returned to the courier (per respective policies). Once the student’s academic tenure at the University is over, all unclaimed packages are removed from campus. All questions regarding student mail delivered to the residence halls should be directed to the Office of Residence Life.

A blue USPS mailbox is located at the entrance of Hofstra USA, North Campus.
