Where do students pick up their mail?
Students living on campus will be assigned a mailbox. Mailboxes are located near the mail room on the second floor of the Warch Campus Center. Students living off-campus can contact Mail Services to request a mailbox. Students can find their mailbox combination on Voyager: Go to the Personal Information tab - View Address(s) and Phone(s) link.
What is an SPC number?
'SPC' is simply an acronym for a mailbox and it's similar to a P.O. Box. You can use Lawrence's FIND utility to determine someone's SPC number. (Campus Life offers information on formatting an address with an SPC number; see the document Campus Addresses for Students.) To find faculty or staff SPC numbers, contact Mail Services for assistance.
Can I send international mail?
