As we begin arriving back on campus here's a few things to keep in mind in regards to getting your mail and packages while here at NSU.
1. Student mailbox assignments for the 20-21 academic year are now available. Please email us at postoffice@nsula.edu (please do so from your NSU email account) and we will send you your assignment and combination. We will also include our new flyer that reflects new policies and procedures that have been put in place for this year due to covid. You may also stop by the NSU Post Office when you arrive on campus to find out that information. Also, please remember that if you had a mailbox with us in the Spring of 2020 you must confirm your assignment before having any items sent to that mailbox. Although we do try to assign you the same mailbox is is not always possible.
2. All mail and packages must be addressed to your NSU Box number and your name. If any items arrive improperly addressed those items are subject to delay, being returned to sender or disposed of as dictated by the carrier's policy. In other words, if someone else is ordering something from Amazon for you the item the item must arrive in your name not their's.
3. If you have moved off campus and would like a mailbox with the NSU Post Office that can be easily arranged. It is $23.00 for the semester. Just stop by or email us at postoffice@nsula.edu and we can help you out with that.
Thank you and please contact us at postoffice@nsula.edu with any questions.
As we approach the beginning the Fall semester we would like to provide you with a few updates.
1. Starting Monday, August 3rd, we will resume our normal semester hours. Those hours are Monday-Thursday
7:00 am-5:30 pm & Fridays 7:00 am-12:00 pm. Of course the lobby is open 24/7 so you can always check your mailbox for letter mail.

3. Perhaps the biggest change for this year will be in how you will pick up a package. In order to maintain as contactless environment as possible we will no longer put slips in your mailbox if you have a package. Any time you receive an item that is too large to fit in your mailbox we will send you an email to your NSU email. Please come to the backdoor (facing Kyser Hall) with your NSU ID and we will give you your package there.
Please always free to contact us at postoffice@nsula.edu if you have any questions.
Thank you and we look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Hi,
If you have been living on campus and are getting to move out shortly please know that you will not need to fill out anything to have your mail forwarded this year. We will be contacting you through your NSU email to let you know if you have something eligible for forwarding and asking for an address. Please know that many items can not forwarded. These include UPS & Fedex packages, Small Packets By Air and mail with certain endorsements. Those items will be returned to sender, recycled or thrown away as the respective shipping company policy dictates. We once again ask that you please update any on-line shopping account with a new address.
Thank you and please contact us at postoffice@nsula.edu with any questions.
The NSU Post Office has now emailed all students who have moved off campus but left forwardable mail and/or Fedex or UPS items in their mailbox from this semester. We will continue to do this for the remainder of the Spring semester. Please keep in mind that there are many types of mail that are not forwardable and those items will be returned to sender or disposed of as dictated by USPS regulations. Also, please keep in mind that neither Fedx or UPS allow for forwarding and if any of those items arrive here we will have to make alternative arrangements for you to get that item. We again strongly encourage everyone to update all of your internet shopping accounts to reflect a current address.
Please email us at postoffice@nsula.edu with any questions and stay safe!

Student mail will be placed in the student's mailbox as usual. We will contact any student that has an item too large to fit into a mailbox by email to notify them they have a package available for pickup. If you have left we will forward the item if it qualifies for forwarding (after you respond to our email)
We strongly encourage students to update their Amazon and other accounts to reflect their current address. Please also be aware that we can not forward either UPS or Fedex packages. If you are expecting a UPS or Fedex package and have left campus please contact them at 1-800-pickups or 1-800-gofedex (respectively) to have the item redirected to your current address.
Thank you, please keep washing your hands, and please contact us at postoffice@nsula.edu with any questions.
