This greatly increases the likelihood of seamless induction into the mailstream and on-time delivery.
One of the key initiatives of the United States Postal Service, eInduction eliminates the need for paper PS Forms 81 and manual reconciliation at the entry facility.
Students will receive one more notification to pick up their package before it is returned to sender. Packages able to be delivered to the Smart Lockers that have not been picked up after three days are considered stale and will be returned to the Claw Card office. Smart Lockers are available inside Building 1000.Oversized packages can only be picked up in the mail room. Students will be notified through their GGC email address when a package arrives and is ready for pick up. Students need to present their GGC ID to retrieve packages.Students may see a delivered email from the carrier, but students will not be able to pick up until the package has reached the mail room. United Parcel Service, Federal Express, Airborne and DHL are delivered to the GGC warehouse initially and then delivered to Mail Services, which may delay the student receiving their package.Mail Services receives direct packages from the United States Postal Service only.When sending packages, tracking will indicate when a package has arrived at the college's warehouse, not when your student has received it. Mail Services recommends using a trackable method of mailing such as delivery confirmation or priority mailing.To minimize the threat to the student’s parcels please do not send cash through the mail. Special occasion and holiday cards are prime targets for theft.Use of another name may prevent mail from reaching the student and being returned.
Always use the student’s full name, as listed with the GGC Registrar.
All mail should be addressed with the correct mailbox number and valid zip code.The student is responsible for knowing and managing their address.If you are a returning housing resident and had a mailbox the previous semester, you will continue to have the same mailbox for as long as you are a campus resident.This must be done in-person as we need to see your Claw Card to verify your identity. For new students, approximately two weeks after move-in you will receive an email when mailbox sign-up opens.
