U.S. MAIL

Incoming U.S. Mail

All U.S. Mail addressed to Western Michigan University, except Parcel Post and mail that is addressed to Residence Halls and WMU Campus Apartments is delivered to the WMU Mailing Services. Mail and packages for Residence Halls and Campus Apartments mail (such as Oakland Apartments, Howard Apartments, 100 Western Ave) are delivered directly by the U.S. Postal Service.  Students MUST include their resident campus address to be deliverable.  Mail received for students in care of Western Michigan University, 1903 W Michigan Ave and not the actual residence hall/address may be returned to sender.   Student mail addressed to a specific department will be delivered to that department.

Incoming Mail arrives and is sorted in the morning between 7:45 and 9:00am by Mail Stop first and the corresponding Department.  It is very important that your mail is delivered correctly to the department location and mail stop where you are located.  Ensure that you keep Human Resources, as well as those who correspond with you, updated.  Should you change departments and mail stops you MUST CONTACT Human Resources at 387-3622.  We will temporarily forward your mail for 30 days to your new location to allow you sufficient time to update Human Resources and all those who correspond with you.   

Express, Certified, Insured Mail, and Parcel Post is delivered by WMU Freight & Delivery Services on the day received along with other materials from University Receiving.

All Priority mail pieces received in the morning from the U.S. Post Office are delivered the same day it is received in the University Mail Center.

Correspondents should be strongly encouraged to address mail to an individual using the department name just above the street address and the individual's name above the department shown in the example below. The correct Mail Stop Code MUST be used for all WMU departments. A correct and complete address will speed delivery of your incoming mail. A complete list of WMU Campus 49008 Mail Stop Codes can be found here.
Example:

DR. JOHN M. DUNN
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT
1903 WEST MICHIGAN AVE
KALAMAZOO MI 49008-5202
Outgoing U.S. Mail

Any mail received from our WMU Departments before 3:00 p.m. is processed the same day. If you have a critical mailing deadline to meet please call us in advance and follow with a note attached to your mailing so that necessary adjustments in our schedule can be made to better serve you.

Large outgoing mailings will be picked-up by special arrangement. When your department has such mailings contact Freight and Delivery Services at 387-8811 or 387-8819. If you cannot get an immediate response contact the Mail Services Supervisor at 387-8812.

Outgoing mail, including intra-campus, is delivered and collected once each working day. An additional collection is made daily at 2:00pm at Walwood, 2:30 p.m. from the lobby of Ellsworth Hall, and at 2:45 p.m. for the Seibert Administration Building.  Mail pickup and delivery at the Parkview Campus is at 11:00am daily.
