To send/receive expedited packages it is best to use FedEx or UPS as both carriers send packages directly to the campus, including on Saturdays.  We do not recommend sending express mail packages via USPS as there is a delay in these packages coming to campus - USPS does not deliver any mail directly to housing buildings and mail is not picked up from USPS sorting facilities on weekends. 

Packages are accepted on campus, at each residence hall. We recommend packages only be sent to residence halls for guests staying longer than two weeks on campus.   

For guests staying less than two weeks, we recommend sending packages to a local FedEx, UPS, CVS, or Rite Aid near campus for pickup. 

Packages delivered after a guest has moved out cannot be sent to the guest. 

Yes!  Gym access and recreational services can be purchased for a daily fee.  Individual guests cannot purchase gym passes on site.  Please have your event coordinator contact the Conference Services team to pre-purchase gym passes.

Visitor passes may be granted for your conference through written request from your event coordinator.  Minors as guests (anyone under the age of 18) are not permitted to enter any residence hall without approval from the Conference Services team. Adults, 18 and older, are not permitted to enter any minors residence without the proper clearances on file with the university.
