Mail/Phone and Cable Television Services

Mail Services

Students who are residing on-campus during the fall, spring, and summer semesters may utilize the Resident Student Mailroom. New students will receive a mailbox that they may utilize during semesters that they are residing on campus. The mailboxes are located in the lower level of Kings Hall. The mailroom hours will be posted. The package containing your room assignment will also include your mailing address. Your mailing address is as follows (your box number is the only thing that may change):

Kings Hall Box #_______
720 Northern Boulevard
C.W. Post Campus
Brookville, NY 11548-1300

If you decide that you are not coming back to reside on-campus, you must change your address. It is the campus policy not to forward mail. So, if you have credit card bills and magazine subscriptions, inform them that you will be moving and give them your new address. If you do not inform them, the campus will not take responsibility for what happens to your mail.

Please be advised that the address correction forms are available at the Greenvale Post Office. All that is necessary on your part is for you to contact anyone who sends you mail especially creditors and magazine subscriptions to inform them of your impending move. We recommend that you tell inform such places immediately because it takes 3 to 6 weeks for this information to be accepted by their systems.
