Mailing Services: Payment Options

Personal Mail Personal mail can be paid for by cash or check or be pre-stamped. Minimum purchase amount for checks is $2.00. The Mail Center does not accept debit or credit cards.

Department Charge Back Business-related mail can be paid for through department charge back. First Class envelopes bearing the department's name in the return address do not require a charge back form. The special services charge back form is required for:

Mailing a letter or package via UPS or a package via USPS
Mail needing insurance, tracking or signature confirmation
Generic envelopes not bearing a department name
Using an envelope from one department that needs to be charged back to another department

Please secure a charge back form to the item with tape, paper clip, or rubber band or to the first piece of mail in the mailing tray. Be sure to include your departmental account number.

Business Reply Envelopes All BREs must have the department’s name on the envelope, as all BREs will be charged back to the department at the end of each month.

Departments using outside vendors must show proof to the Mail Center that the mailhouse has cleaned their list through the NCOA link. All paperwork must remain on campus for two years.

Non Profit/Permit 188 A proof for all flyers/brochures must be brought to the Mail Center for approval BEFORE the piece is printed. We must take the piece to the mail piece analyst downtown for approval, which may take up to two days.
