Here are just a few things to help you along your way.

Receipt Notifications

When the Main Office receives packages, checks, keys, corporate cards, or faxes on your behalf, they will be logged into our system and you will receive a receipt notification via e-mail.

Packages will be stored in the Main Office and may be picked up at your convenience. Checks, corporate cards, and keys must be signed out at the Main Office desk. 

Supplies

The Main Office maintains a well-stocked supply closet with commonly used office items for individual needs. If you need an item that is not currently available, please inform the Main Office staff and we will place an order for you. Most orders arrive within a few business days.

Sending Packages and Mail

To send mail, please place it on one of the shelves on the wall near the Main Office desk.

  • On-campus mail requires only the recipient's name and UCB number.
  • Off-campus mail requires the full address and speed type number.  Please write your speed type in the upper left-hand corner of the mail piece, below the return address.

Packages may be mailed out via FedEx, U.S. Postal Service, or UPS.  To initiate a shipment, please complete the CIRES Shipping Form.  The CIRES Message Center creates the shipping labels for FedEx.  The CU Distribution Center will create the shipping labels for USPS and UPS.

Outgoing pre-labeled packages may be placed in front of the Main Office desk. After doing so, please inform the Main Office staff, as a pickup request must be submitted to the Distribution Center.
