Changes to our service due to Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Please consider using email or other digital communications to help keep our staff who continue to provide this essential service safe.
Due to the current situation, there may be a delay in our distribution across campus. All mail received and waiting to be distributed continues to be safely stored.
- Royal Mail will continue to deliver mail to the residential colleges and the Campus East Mailroom for collection by students who are not self-isolating. We will email students to collect their post.
- The Campus West Mailroom is open from 8am - 5pm, Monday to Friday.
- The Piazza Mailroom is open 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday and 10am to 2pm on a Sunday.
- We will continue to respond to enquiries from students who have recently left campus and help with the redirection of mail.
- We are now delivering mail to academic and other non-residential buildings that are open. Alternatively, we can forward Departmental mail to a number of agreed contacts who are off-campus.
If you are self-isolating on campus, you should not collect your mail and ask a friend to do so instead.
