Personal Mail
The University campus mail system is exclusively for University business. This means you may not receive incoming mail of a personal nature at work, nor may intercampus mail be used for anything other than University business.

Inter-office Priority Mailings
UMB Campus Mail Services offers a priority mailing service to the UMB campus. Employees must use the Priority mail form 07.02008. The form can be ordered from Strategic Factory by emailing them. The service is provided to ensure delivery to an individual or their mail contact personnel by obtaining a signature for delivery confirmation. Mail services will return a copy of the priority form to the sender after delivery. Mail services will only deliver to individuals who are currently in the UMB mail route system. If the addressee is not in the UMB mail route system or if the mail piece is refused, we will return the mail piece to the sender. If you have any questions concerning an employee’s eligibility for delivery, please call the Mail Center at 6-6709. A maximum of five priority mail pieces may be sent from one department daily.
