Student Mail

The Student Mail Service unit (BSB Room 1-98; Tel Ext. 2100), is NOT staffed - Mail clerks are present only while sorting incoming mail into student mailboxes. Contact the main Mail Services for assistance.


  1. Students' grades must be brought to the Central Mail Services for priority distribution.
  2. Students should advise all their correspondents and subscriptions, etc… of their campus box number.
  3. All student box numbers begin with the letter "S" (Example: DMC Box S-____).
  4. Students should check their campus box daily and remove mail. Many of the boxes are shared and become over-filled quickly, which can cause otherwise avoidable mail delays. If your box becomes overfilled, a "Mail Notice" will be placed in the student mail box which alerts the user that they have additional mail, or an accountable mail piece which requires a signature, or a package has arrived which is too large to fit into the mailbox.
  5. Students who do not have their mailbox key must present their DMC student ID card.
