Important Information
-
Your Lake Forest College ID is the only accepted ID in the Mail Center.
-
The Mail Center will not deliver any packages to anyone except the recipient of the package.
-
The only way that a letter or package can be traced is if it was sent with a tracking number.
-
Check your mail often – even if you live off campus. Mail which is not picked up after 15 business days may be returned to sender.
-
DO NOT SEND CASH THROUGH THE MAIL. Gift cards, pre-paid Visa/MasterCard, or money orders should be used as they can be traced, cancelled, and eventually be replaced in the unlikely event that they are lost or stolen.
Lake Forest College cannot assume responsibility for items stolen or damaged during shipment or while in storage. Therefore, make sure all of your items are insured and trackable for both delivery and after arrival at the College.
Mail Retention Policy
Mail of any type (packages, letters, etc.) that are not addressed to a specific name or office will be returned to sender.
If a recipient is not a current faculty, staff, or student, the mail will be forwarded to the address on file. If there is a cost to forward the mail, the recipient can pay the cost of forwarding, or the mail will be returned to sender.
Check your mail often – even if you live off campus. Mail which is not picked up after 15 business days may be returned to sender.
