Student Mailboxes
Mailboxes assigned to individual students are on the second floor of the Drysdale Student Center near the Westover Room dining area. Students can identify their assigned campus mailbox number and access combination online:
1. MyLynchburg ➝ Students Online
2. Enter data-access PIN
3. Under the column “Personal,” select “Assigned Numbers.”
Student Mailing Address
For accurate and prompt delivery, mail sent to students should be addressed as follows:
Student Name and Mailbox Number
University of Lynchburg
1501 Lakeside Drive
Lynchburg, VA 24501-3113
When mail or a package is addressed to the University without the name of a specific individual or University department, the item is forwarded to and opened by the University’s Business Office. If the contents of the item indicate the intended recipient, the Business Office sends the items back to Mail Services for delivery through regular campus mail processes.
Deliveries to Student Mailboxes
Incoming letters are typically placed in students’ mailboxes by noon on weekdays, excluding observed holidays.
When an incoming package is addressed to a student’s mailbox, Mail Services notifies the student recipient via email that the package can be picked up at the Mail Services counter. A student should present their University ID when picking up a package. Due to U.S. Postal Service regulations, packages containing perishable items are discarded if not picked up within seven days.
