MUSM - Each first and second year medical student is assigned a P.O. Box located in the Atrium in the School of Medicine. An outgoing mail basket is also provided in the Atrium.
This mail should be placed in the container provided for daily courier service to MCCG.
If, as in the case of sophomore students, and some junior students, who will be away from MUSM for an extended length of time for study time, etc., it is your responsibility to give your new address to departments from which you intend to receive mail during your absence. The Office of Admissions and Student Affairs must also be notified. Your new/temporary address will then be given to the mail clerk who will forward only FIRST CLASS mail to you. It is strongly recommended that newspapers, magazines, periodicals be given your home address for processing.
It is of utmost importance that you keep your mail box locked at all times. Open mail boxes not only cause mail to fall out, it also offers access to anyone who may be visiting the building which could result in loss of important information.
