ADDRESSING
(Campus Mail, Outgoing U.S. Mail, Residence Hall Address)
Addressing
Campus Mail
All
mail must contain a department name and the building in which
the department is located. Mail addressed only to a room or
a building or to "occupant", "resident",
or similar titles will be returned to the sender. Campus mail
return addresses should include the sender's name and department
in the event mail has to be returned.
Campus
wide official University of Georgia administrative directives
or bulletins for the dissemination of information related
to policies and procedures necessary to conduct the day-to-day
operation of the University of Georgia falls into two categories.
One category is for general distribution throughout campus.
The second category is pre-labeled and is intended for specific
individuals. These must also contain a department name and
the building in which the department is located. They must
also be sorted and bundled by department. The name of the
sender, organization and telephone number must be provided
for all campus wide distributions. For information about the
distribution of such communications, contact the Campus Mail
Delivery Unit at
706-542-5286.
Addressing
Outgoing U.S. Mail
All
outgoing U.S. mail to be stamped must include a complete mailing
address and a complete University of Georgia return address.
