Policy on the Use of Campus Mail

Campus mail is not protected by U.S. Postal Service regulations. Items other than official University mail may be delayed or stopped if it appears they are in violation of the rules. Sealed material may be held until the originator can be contacted to open and verify the contents or to withdraw it from the mail system. If necessary, it may be opened by the director of mail services to determine the nature of the contents and/or the originator. If the originator cannot be identified, material will be held for one week. It will then be turned over to campus safety for further investigation or destroyed.

  1. Services: In addition to the U.S. Mail, Colgate’s mail service distributes official University mail and notices to employees and students. Students may use the campus mail to exchange personal correspondence with other students or employees.
  2. How to Use Campus Mail: All items placed in the campus mail for distribution must clearly identify the originator and the name and Colgate box number of the addressee. 
  3. Restrictions: The following materials will not be delivered via campus mail:
    1. Advertising, solicitations, or promotional material for commercial or private activities or for personal gain
    2. Bulk mailings of materials that do not identify the originator and are not addressed to the recipient by name and box number
    3. Any type of material, correspondence, or literature that would be illegal for distribution through the U.S. Postal Service (e.g., chain letters)
  4. Distribution: Student organizations needing to make a distribution of notices or other material must seek approval in advance from the director of the Center for Leadership and Student Involvement (Coop) and must coordinate their needs with the supervisor of mail services. Bulky or other nonstandard items (boxes of candy, “free sample” items, etc.) are of special concern due to the size limitations of mail boxes.
