Resident Student Mail

Counter Service

McNichols Campus and Corktown Campus provide limited counter services for resident students. We offer both shipping and receiving of packages and outgoing US Mail services.

Resident students may apply for a Student University Mail Services (SUMS) box through Student Life on the first level of the Student Center. (visit Student Handbook site)
Resident students that have a SUMS Box assigned to them will be able to receive packages that are shipped by the US Postal Service, UPS, DHL, FedEx, etc. A Package Pick-Up Notification slip will be sent to the SUMS Box of the student receiving a package. Students can then take the notification and UDM Student ID to Mail Services to receive their package.
- Under no circumstances will a package be released to anyone other than the addressee.
- Per UDM Mail Services Policy, unclaimed packages will be discarded after 30 days.
If a resident student is aware of an important shipment coming in, we recommend contacting Mail Services (313.993.1240) with a tracking number to check on shipment status.
Dental School and Law School both accept incoming packages at their current locations.

Mail Services provides a package shipping service for students to have their packages weighed and priced at the best possible rate. Payment for the shipment will be made in the Student Accounting Office after Mail Services has quoted the price. A receipt must be brought back to Mail Services and then the package may be mailed.
University receives discounted rates from UPS and DHL and therefore will rarely use FedEx for outgoing shipments.
