Post Office

Mission

The primary mission of the Louisiana Tech Post Office is to provide speedy and secure distribution of mail and packages for all currently employed Faculty, Staff, Departments and enrolled on-campus students.

General Information

The mail room provides all Domestic USPS postal and package delivery services to its students residing in campus housing. A mail services fee is collected with housing room fees. Students will retain mail services as long as they reside in Louisiana Tech campus housing. Mail/packages unclaimed or received after leaving campus housing will be returned to sender.

For off-campus students who wish to rent postal services, they can inquire about it at the customer service window.

Students are automatically entered into our database upon paying dorm fees. Please let us know as soon as possible if mail/packages are being returned.

UPS, FedEx, DHL and USPS mail/packages are processed daily upon arrival. Please allow time for the mail center staff to complete processing before inquiring about your packages. You will receive an email from Office Services when your mail and/or packages are ready.

International mailing is limited to letter-sized envelopes, weighing up to one ounce. All other international mail must be delivered to the Ruston Post Office for processing.

To receive mail and packages, your university mailing address should be in the following format:
