Campus Mail
Campus mail is continually sorted and distributed daily. Such mail should include the recipient's full name as well as department or Bryant box number if going to a student.

Outgoing Mail Procedures

Mailing Packages
Packages can be mailed through the Bryant Post Office from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Packages must be properly wrapped, labeled, and weigh less than 70 pounds. The Post Office will be happy to assist you in preparing your package for shipment.

Bulk Mailings
To be sure adequate postage is on our account at the Providence Post Office, all departments using a mailing house must notify the Bryant University Post Office with the amount needed for postage.

Mail Classification - International Mail
All outgoing USPS international packages require customs forms be completed
online.

Department Mail Requirements
Please separate domestic and international mail. Mail requiring postage must have the account number to identify it. If the Post Office window is not open, it is recommended that mail requiring postage not be left on the counter.

Incoming Packages

All packages are received and signed for by the Shipping & Receiving Department and the Post Office. These items are then transferred and processed. Students will be notified via email and text message (providing a cell phone number has been provided) once their package is ready to be picked up. The Post Office will hold that package for 15 business days. If the package is not picked up after the first notification, a second one will be issued. If the package is not picked up within the 15-day window, the package will be returned to sender or donated if return is not possible.

Students must have their Bryant ID, a valid driver’s license or a passport in order to pick up packages. An email to bryantpo@bryant.edu can be sent to give permission to another individual to collect a package on a student’s behalf.  This individual must have a form of identification as well.

Student Box Numbers

Box numbers are typically assigned mid-July for the upcoming year and are used for identification purposes. To obtain your box number, download the Bryant Mobile app, log into Bryant app using your username and password, and click on the PO Box icon.  All mail will be held in the Post Office and available during normal business hours.  Students will be notified when they receive letter mail.

Amazon Lockers

Students can choose to have their Amazon packages delivered to the Amazon lockers if chosen at checkout. Refresh zip code to 02917 and choose “Harmonica” lockers. An email or text is generated with the code to retrieve package once it is delivered.

Student Parcel Lockers

The lockers are located outside the Post Office and will function like the Amazon lockers but will be loaded and managed by the Post Office staff.

Students will receive a code via text or email which will need to be inputted once they arrive at the lockers. Once entered correctly, the door to the corresponding locker will open. Please close door securely.

Students are given 24 hours to retrieve their item(s). If the item(s) are not collected, the Post office staff will bring items back to the Post Office where they will be held for 15 days.
