Post Office on Campus
The Campus Post Office window hours are:
Monday - Friday 8:00 am – 12:00 noon and 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Stamps and envelopes are sold and packages may be mailed from the Campus Post Office. In addition to all mail services, United Parcel Services (UPS) and insured and certified mail services are also available.
All Federal Express (FEDEX) packages must be at the Centre Post Office no later than 1:00 pm on the day of the desired shipment. All UPS packages must be at the Centre Post Office no later than 3:00 pm. Envelopes and labels for UPS, FEDEX and PRIORITY MAIL are available at the Centre Post Office.
The Post Office will not accept for distribution leaflets, pamphlets, or any other similar material promoting a product or service unless distributed by an officially recognized campus organization which has received permission from the Student Life Office (see Sales/Solicitation Policy in this section of the Handbook).
Student mailboxes are color-coded by class. For mass mailings intended for everyone in a certain class (or classes), individual student names do not need to be on each piece.
The Centre Post Office is closed on certain holidays officially recognized by the College.
The student’s campus box number and name should be used as the return address on all mail. Do not put “P.O.” before the box number, as campus mail will become confused with the Danville P.O. box numbers. (Ex: your name, Centre College, 600 W. Walnut Street, Danville, Kentucky 40422)
Florists may make deliveries to the Centre Post Office, Monday - Friday during normal operating hours. Students are called to pick up flowers. This service is not available on weekends or holidays.
Campus mail does not require a stamp. Please fold all mail, put in alphabetical order, and secure with a rubber band. Campus Mail must be at most 2” wide. Drop all mail in the mail slot; DO NOT leave mail on the counter. Mailboxes should be checked at least once each day.
Students who are not returning to school should have all magazine subscriptions changed. The United States Post Office will no longer forward magazines and due to postage costs we cannot mail them. Also, students who are not returning need to fill out a change of address form, available at the Centre Post Office, so their mail will be sent to their new address. Students receive a different mailbox each year.
