All student mail and packages are delivered to Campus Mail Services and Shipping and Receiving, now located in the Campus Store. There are no deliveries to Residence Halls.

When mail or packages are coming to campus they should be addressed using this format:
Student’s Name (first name, middle initial, last name)
2115 Summit Avenue
St Paul MN 55105-1094

Student’s Name
2115 Summit Avenue
St Paul MN 55105-1094

When an item has been processed an e-mail will be sent immediately to the student’s UST email letting them know their item is available for pick-up. The student must present a valid UST ID that will be scanned in order to claim their package. Our new package tracking system will also send out a reminder notice for items that have not been picked up every other day. The same system is used for flower and care package deliveries.

Yes. No matter the term, you will get an email notification when you receive mail every other day until your mail is picked up.

The US Postal Service picks up from Campus Mail Services in Murray Herrick Center on the St Paul campus at 2pm each weekday.

The US Postal Service picks up from the Minneapolis Service Center in Terrence Murphy Hall at 4:00 pm each weekday.

Any item that that requires a signature will be signed for by our Campus Mail Services or Shipping and Receiving staff.

Flowers may be sent to students, faculty, and staff. The recipient will receive an e-mail sent to their UST e-mail when a delivery has occurred. The recipient will come to Package Pick-Up in the Campus Store to receive their flowers with a St. Thomas ID. If the recipient does not pick their flowers up, we will follow up the e-mail up with a phone call.

Most florists in the area know where to bring flowers at St. Thomas. All floral deliveries for students and faculty/staff should arrive at the Campus Store, located in the basement of Murray Hall. The entire campus is listed as 2115 Summit Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55105- so it is a bit tricky giving directions. We are located on the north campus, off of Cleveland and Ashland just past the chapel on the hill. The lot is labeled, “Admissions.” There are three, 15 minute parking spots for merchants.

Two of the better florists in the area are Bachmann’s, and A Johnsons.

We accept Edible Bouquets, but caution - we don’t have refrigeration. If the item is not picked up in a timely manner this can be a problematic.

Care package purchases are organized by the Campus Stores. The Campus Store handles the distribution. Students will receive an e-mail when a care package has been processed.

Congratulations!! Students who graduate may keep their mail service until the end of July. Graduating students should update their address on Murphy. We also have permanent and temporary address cards. Mail will be forwarded for a period of 6 months after a student graduates. Six months after graduation a forwarding order expires and the student’s mail will be returned to the sender.

It is important to inform anyone that sends you mail to change your address in their system. This is your responsibility. Make sure you change your mailing address with Amazon and all other companies you have ordered from.

Yes, when a student has graduated or is no longer active at the university we will forward their mail to the permanent (domestic) address on record. We forward mail for a period of 6 months. Students and staff may update their permanent address record on Murphy. We will also forward mail to a temporary address. To forward to a temporary address you must fill out a forwarding card at the UST Post Office, in the Campus Store.

We will only temporarily forward USPS, not FedEx or UPS.

Any mail or packages that are not picked up within 6 months will be returned to sender or be considered as abandoned. However, if it is a magazine, then old editions will be recycled after three months.

Yes, we sell stamps, individually and in sheets. You can also mail packages. We will weigh your item, select the zone and give you pricing based on the delivery time you request. The services listed above may be purchased with cash, check, eXpress, gift card or credit card.

Yes, Campus Mail can seal letter and flat mail envelopes. The charge is included with regular processing. However, if the item requires hand sealing or if labels need to be attached there will be additional costs.

We typically, have a good supply of inter/intracampus envelopes, just ask.

UST's "Mail Number" system plays a critical role in the distribution of letters and packages throughout campus. Each faculty, staff, and student has a mail number where all incoming mail should be addressed. The mail number is often times different from the office number, room number or suite number where UST employees work, so be sure to familiarize yourself with your mail number, and be sure that all correspondence goes to that specific address. Remember, mail is delivered to the mail number not to an office room number! For intercampus mail, and US mail, use Outlook correctly to get the mail number, by looking in “Properties.” If you wish to send a distribution of letters or packages to students, use the Student Distribution Form; to send to faculty and staff, use the Faculty/Staff Distribution Form.

Letters and intercampus mail is sent to Rome once a week on Wednesdays. Items going to Rome should arrive at Campus Mail Services before 12:00 noon and should include the recipient’s name and the words ROME CAMPUS. Only intercampus and letter mail sent by University departments will be sent out FREE for the customer. Anything other than University mail (personal) will be sent out at the sender's expense. Items going to Rome that weigh over 1 lb will be sent out at the senders expense and need to be packaged ship ready with the full Rome address and an account number for billing. The Postal Service requires that international items over 1 lb have customs documentation attached. Custom forms will vary with weight and the services used to send it. Please check with Shipping and Receiving for time requirements on arrival and the best pricing as well as documentation (custom form) requirements. Call the Campus Store (651) 962-6355

It is critically important that all incoming mail have the correct format. Here is an example of a correct address as it should appear on all incoming correspondence and packages:

John Doe
University of St Thomas
Mail AQU 217
2115 Summit Avenue
St. Paul, MN 55105-1078

Note that the mail number, (AQU 217) is on the line above the street address- this is important. Also note that there is a space between the letters and the numbers, and there is no “#” (pound sign), in the mail number. The pound sign causes problems in Banner. AQU 217 is only a sample mail stop.

John Doe
University of St Thomas
Mail TMH 100
1000 LaSalle Avenue
Minneapolis, MN 55403-2005

Note that the word Avenue is spelled out- this is preferred at UST.

There are several different zip+4 codes used at UST, so please look at your business card, check with the Service Center, (2-6588), or refer below:

Campus Mail Services will pick-up regular stamped letter mail from mail stops and special drop boxes on campus. The UST Post Office located in the basement of Murray Herrick, in the Campus Store, has three drop boxes, one for regular stamped US Mail, one for Intercampus mail, and another for university mail that requires metering. The last mail pickup from the Postal Service is at 3:00 pm. This is last time to get your mail postmarked for the day.

University business mail may be metered under the departmental index code. The index code should be written in the upper right hand corner of the envelope. Some departments have choose to have this printed on their envelopes at the time of printing. Mail must have a university return address in order to use the departmental index code.

It is the responsibility of the department to notify the sender that the individual is no longer an employee. Mail addressed to the University of St. Thomas and to an individual, that is longer employed with St. Thomas is now the property of that department. If mail is addressed solely to the individual, the mail can be forwarded by the department. Mail that bears the markings “Non Profit,” and “Pre-sorted Standard” are not forwardable. These items may be recycled.

Intercampus mail that is addressed to a former employee will be returned to the originating department so the department has the opportunity to update their records.
