Changing Residence Hall Address: If a student changes rooms in the same residence hall, the assigned mailbox is not affected. However, if students change residence halls, it is their responsible to notify their correspondent and mail clerk in their previous residence hall and check in with the mail clerk in their new residence hall for a new mail box. Students must obtain a “Change of Residence Hall” form from the Residence Life Office or new residence director prior to assignment of a new mailbox. This action will ensure uninterrupted mail service.
Forwarding Mail: During the summer months mail is forward for 60 day beginning the day after the last day of school. For magazines, students are requested to provide a Change of Address card to their publishers during this period. Otherwise, magazines will be donated to Creighton University Medical Center and outlying clinics.
