A Reference Guide for Outgoing Mail

Every department has a mailbag (green and red) and/or a bin into which we would appreciate you depositing all outgoing mail.

General Mailing Requirements

• Bundle letters (four or more) with rubber bands facing the same direction we have extras if you need them).

• If you would like us to seal the envelopes, please keep the flaps up.

• Very thick envelopes (with flaps that will not easily close) must be pre-sealed.

• Keep foreign mail (which needs to be metered) separate from domestic mail paper clipped, or noted.

• Separate inter-campus envelopes, stamped envelopes and postage-paid envelopes from all mail to be metered.

• List your department (not your name) on all envelopes that need to be metered.

• All bi-fold and tri-fold letters must be folded so that the document does not extend beyond the envelope's back flap fold and must be stapled in the right hand side corner.

Messenger Service

The mailroom does provide in-town (San Luis Obispo) pick up and delivery service (Tuesday through Friday) with at least a 24-hour notice. E-mail request to messngr@cuesta.edu. Please include the following information so your request can be processed in a timely manner.
