Beginning of Fall Semester: Medford Campus

A van and driver are available on a first come first served basis, to assist you in taking your large packages to the front of your residence hall. After 10/10/09, for any large packages, we will try to arrange to transport you and your package to your residence hall as our schedule allows.

We encourage you to use UPS for packages because they are tracked. We suggest you send your essentials first, followed by your non-essentials later in the month. Please avoid sending packages heavier than 70 lbs. and avoid sending perishables during the beginning of the year rush. If you are not available to pick up perishable packages in a timely manner during the remainder of the year, please do not have them sent due to possible spoiling. When you do send perishables, please include your phone number on the package so that you may be contacted upon its arrival.

Once you have arrived on campus, you will be notified via e-mail that a package has arrived. To pick up your package, bring your Student I.D.
