Post Office
ATTENTION RESIDENT STUDENTS!
Before you leave for the summer:
In accordance with SMC Post Office policy, a resident undergraduate student not staying on campus over the summer, but returning in the fall, may keep his/her PMB box key but must pick up all mail and packages in the Post Office BEFORE they leave. Any packages left over the summer will be returned to sender.
Living On Campus Over the Summer:
Upon written approval by the Office of Residence Life, each summer resident student must arrange with the campus post office to keep PMB boxes for the summer. Any summer resident student moving off campus at the end of the summer who is not going to live on campus in the fall must submit a Release of Re-Mail Obligation Form and return his/her PMB box key to the Post Office before checking out at the end of summer.
Moving Off Campus Permanently:
When a student moves off campus, he/she must close his/her campus PMB box by submitting a Release of Re-Mail Obligation Form and returning the PMB box key to the SMC Post Office. The deadline for proper closure of a resident student PMB box is May 31st. Also keep in mind that there is a $25.00 lock change fee if PMB keys are not returned. Also please update all subscriptions, and inform all interested parties of your new address. SMC Post Office will not hold any mail or packages of non residentual students. The mail and packages will be returned to sender.
Study Abroad Students:
A student may keep his/her PMB box assignment and key while studying abroad only if all of the following criteria are met:
- He/she lives on campus for the complete term before traveling abroad and will be living on campus upon his/her return
- The student is studying abroad through an SMC-sponsored program and study abroad room & board rates have been assigned through the College

Package Deliveries
The Post Office will if able to put incoming parcels directly into your PMB. If however the package is to large to fit into your box, we will either put a slip into your box telling you to come into the Post Office to retrieve your package, or a parcel locker key.
Parcel Lockers: We will be utilizing the Parcel Lockers located in the Post Office general area. In an effort to reduce the traffic in and out of the Post Office we will be putting as many packages into Parcel Lockers as possible on a daily basis. Incoming packages will be put into a parcel locker and the key to the locker will be placed into your PMB Box. You will have 5 days to retrieve the package. If you do not retrieve the package in 5 days, it will be returned to sender.
Amazon orders (Alana Lockers): The Post Office recommends that if you OR your parents are ordering from Amazon that they utilize the Amazon Parcel lockers on campus. They can find the Amazon lockers (called Alana) under alternate shipping address for the zip code 94575.
