Receiving Mail

PICK-UP HOURS

Student Mail and Packages

An email will be sent the day you receive any type of mail. You may stop by Print and Mail Services during business hours with your Hope ID to claim mail and packages.

DEPARTMENTAL MAIL DELIVERY

This delivery service is for some departments located outside of the DeWitt Center. Delivery times are 10:30 a.m.–noon, Monday–Friday. We will also pick up interoffice and outgoing mail and packages, which are brought back to Campus Print and Mail Services for processing.

IMPORTANT PACKAGE NEEDED,  BUT WE’RE CLOSED

Only in the event of an absolute necessity such as medication are you able to obtain packages from Mail Services after hours. We’re sorry if that means you won’t be able to pick up your package until after 8 a.m. on Monday. In the event of an emergency you may contact Campus Safety.

FORWARDING

• Current Students: First class mail will be forwarded to the permanent address on file during the summer. 
• Graduates/Former Students: We will forward first-class mail to the permanent address on file for 90 days. After this period, first-class mail will be returned to sender.
• Permanent address updates can be done via your plus.hope.edu account.
