  University of California, San Diego

Mailbox Use:

• Student organizations no longer have individual mailboxes; mailboxes are now alphabetized. Mailboxes are managed by the CSI Front Desk, located at the former AS Graphic Studio (306) - Price Center East, Level 3 (map). Principal Members must now check in at the CSI Front Desk to access student org mail. 
• Center for Student Involvement mailboxes are for inter-campus and U.S. first and third class mail. Valuable materials and packages, registered letters, and any other mail that requires a signature should not be sent to the Center for Student Involvement and instead should be mailed to the home of a selected principal member.

Mail Pickup:

• Student Organization Principal Members will receive an email from csifrontdesk@ucsd.edu stating that there is mail to pick up for their student organization. 
• Any Principal Member may come to the CSI Front Desk during business hours to claim their mail. Please make sure to bring an ID to pick up mail.
• After each quarterly deadline, unclaimed items are returned to the sender via the Triton Trove or discarded at the discretion of the person distributing the mail. Please arrange to have your mail claimed as soon as possible.

Deadlines to Collect Mail:

• For mail received in Fall Quarter – Friday, December 12, 2025 
• For mail received in Winter Quarter – Friday, March 20, 2026 
• For mail received in Spring Quarter – Friday, June 12, 2026
