Mail
Services is owned solely by UVA-Wise. While the U.S.
Postal Service does not operate this service, we still must
follow many of the same regulations of the U. S. Postal
Service. Our customer service window offers many
services, but we do not offer check cashing, exchange of
or issue money orders, nor do we accept credit cards or
traveler's checks. However, we will accept personal
checks for the exact amount of the postage charge.
Mail
Services offers UVA-Wise students a free temporary campus
mailing address or campus post office box. We do
not automatically issue mailboxes to students. The
student must request a campus mailbox. When a campus
mailbox is issued, the student keeps that mailbox for as
long as the student is (1) registered at UVA Wise and (2)
the student actually uses the campus mailbox during the
academic year.
NON-USEAGE:
It is the policy of Mail Services to CANCEL a student campus
mailbox if within an academic year the student
has not used or picked-up any mail from that campus mailbox.
