MAIL, SHIPPING, & PACKAGE DELIVERY SERVICES

Mailboxes are provided at the University Apartments as part of your housing charges. Each apartment is assigned one mailbox for the residents to share and each student resident is issued a mailbox combination upon moving into an apartment. The apartment community also has several package mailboxes. If you receive a key in your mailbox, this indicates you have received a large package and must pick it up in the large mailboxes.

Mail delivery is handled by the U.S. Post Office for Gardens Apartments and by Texas A&M University Mail Services for White Creek Apartments.
