Resident mailboxes are operated according to guidelines provided by the U.S. Postal Service.

Items that are too large for the mailboxes are kept in the Community Center and a package notification is placed in the resident’s mailbox or sent via email. To claim the package, residents should bring the package notification and their U-M ID to the Community Center during regular business hours.
