Mail and Print/Copy Center

ACampus Mail

Our campus mail service includes the step of our vendor picking up the U.S. mail from the local United States Postal Service center once per day (in the morning), Monday through Friday. Once the U.S. mail is on our campus, our vendor sorts the mail for delivery to the various campus departments. 

If the USPS mail and/or packages, picked up by our vendor, is for our residential students, each piece is given a special barcode by our vendor.  This barcode allows our vendor to send out an automated email notification to residential students that they have mail and/or package ready for pick-up.  In the email, residential students are directed to go to the Academic Services Building (KSU ID is required) in order to pick-up their mail and/or packages.   Any mail addressed to students who are not residential are marked "return to sender".  

The KSU Print and Post Mail Center (located in ASB) can be reached at (502) 597-6780 or by email at  printandpost@kysu.edu. KSU Print and Post Mail Center office hours are:  Monday – Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm.
