University Mailroom
The University Mailroom operates independently of the U.S. Postal Service and is dedicated to meeting the communication needs of the campus community. Residential students receive a UNA mailbox. It is not designed to function as a full-service post office and is primarily used by residential students, departments, and employees for intercampus business. The University Mailroom is located in the Guillot University Center on the first floor, 256-765-4282. Mailboxes are accessible while the The Mailroom Window is open Monday-Friday 8:00-4:30 p.m.
How to Access Your Mailbox
Use your UNA Portal user name and password to look up your mailbox and combination on the computer screen located at the Mailroom window.
To open your mailbox (instruction cards available at the window):
- Turn to the left at least 4 turns, stopping at the first number.
- Turn to the right, passing the first number once, stopping at the second number.
- Turn to the left, stopping at the third number.
- Turn to the right to open and pull!
Package notices are not placed in the mailboxes until all deliveries are made. If you have a notice in your box, bring it to the Mailroom window to pick up your package. You must have your UNA Mane Card ID to claim your package.
Students and university employees will be responsible for checking their boxes regularly for mail, particularly for official university mail. Students can receive their mailbox combinations when the assignment is made. The box assignment will remain the same for as long as the student is continuously enrolled.
