Student Mail Guidelines and FAQs
Student Mail
- You must have your key with you when you come to pick up your letter mail at the Central Post Office.
- To assure delivery of mail and packages, always include full name and box number in your address.
- Advise all correspondents that your mail should be addressed as follows:
- First Name Last Name Box #
- 82 College Circle
- Dahlonega, GA 30597
- Storage space in the Post Office is limited. Mail should be checked weekly. If not, the mail is subject to being returned to sender or forwarded. (Ex: newspapers, packages) We remind students after one month, and return after two full months.
Student Mailboxes
UNG Post Office boxes are given to resident students currently enrolled at UNG by request on a first-come-first-served basis.
Resident students retain their P.O. box unless the student is not checking their mail. You should check your physical mailbox once per week, and take out any fliers as the fliers will be used to determine if you are checking your mailbox.
Resident students must without exception, surrender their box upon converting to commuter status. Upon graduation or other egress, the student must return their key or pay the current key replacement cost.

Student Mail FAQs
My tracking my number says my package has been delivered, but I haven’t received an email from the Post Office. Is my package here?
All UPS and FedEx packages are delivered daily to logistical services between 9:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. Your package may have been delivered to campus, but will not arrive at the post office until around 2:30 p.m. As soon as your package has arrived at the post office and has been processed, you will be sent an email confirmation.
Can I still pick up my package if I don’t have my email?
Emails will be sent to you immediately after we have received your package alerting you of your parcel's arrival. If you have not received an email, it is likely that your package has not yet arrived to the campus post office.
Students are always welcome to bring their tracking number to the front window, where a clerk will be happy to assist them with any questions that they may have.
I forgot my key. Can I still pick up my letters?
Unfortunately, if you have a physical mailbox, you cannot pick up letters or fliers without your key. If you come to the front window, all of our postal clerks will be glad to confirm if you do have an item in your box, but they won’t be able to give it to you.
I haven’t gotten an email, but I know my package is here. Will you go get it for me?
Emails will be sent to you soon after we have received your package alerting you of your parcel's arrival. If you have not received an email, it is likely that your package has not yet arrived to the campus post office, or we are still processing your parcel.
I called in, will you check to see if I have mail?
Due to the time it takes for us to check your mail, we no longer check your mail for you if you call over the phone. If your item has a tracking number, you should have gotten an email about it.
I just became a Resident. Will my Post Office Box be assigned to me automatically?
I am going to study abroad/be transient for one semester. Can I keep my key?
We recommend you turn your key in, as every spring and fall semester we check every student's status and email all the commuters before placing holds on their accounts. The only way to avoid these emails and possible holds is to turn your mail key in if you will be gone for a semester.
Does the UNG Post Office sell stamps, envelopes, etc.?
Do you have packing supplies for mail I need to send?
We have packing tape, labels and markers. We also have an assortment of flat rate USPS boxes. However, we have a limited supply of used boxes that we try to recycle by offering them to customers.
Do you take campus cash/credit/debit cards?
What mail can I drop off at the UNG Post Office?
How long will it take the letter I dropped off to get to it’s destination?
This depends on where it is going, and how it was sent. Please contact us and we will be happy to estimate it’s arrival time.
