The mail boxes are located on the lower level of the Emerson Student Center.  Individual mailboxes are assigned to all resident students and there is one slot for outgoing and one for interoffice mail. Mail is put up Monday through Saturday while school is in session, except on federal holidays. Student employees staff the post office. Stamps can be purchased in the Student Affairs Office and in the campus bookstore which also sells a variety of envelopes.

A properly addressed letter to the student post office includes the box number. Use of "Oglethorpe University" or "Peachtree Road" in the address will cause mail to be delivered to the wrong building and therefore be delayed. An example of a properly addressed letter is:

Ms. Storm E. Petrel
Box 131
3000 Woodrow Way, N.E.
Atlanta, GA 30319

During holiday periods or summer vacation student mail can be forwarded under limited conditions. The student is responsible for providing an accurate forwarding address. Mail for which no forwarding address has been supplied will be returned to the sender. Mail will not be held under any circumstances for more than two weeks.
