Collecting Packages and Mail

Residential students living on the Kennesaw Campus with properly addressed packages and first-class mail will pick up their mail a the Student Mail Services window located on the second floor in the James V. Carmichael Student Center. Until you receive an email, your item is not ready for pickup. A valid picture ID will be required to pick up the item.

  • Students have 15 days to pick up letter mail and packages.
  • To ensure receipt, Student Mail Services will send two email notifications for packages during the 15 days. After 15 days, the item will be returned to the sender. 
  • Recipients will either receive an email from "Packcity" no-reply@packcity.com or directly from Student Mail Services:

    • Packcity Locker Notification: You will receive an email with pick up codes which contain an identification and authentication code. The email will be sent from Packcity.es. If using the Outlook App, the email may appear in your "Other" folder instead of your inbox.
    • Directly from Student Mail Services: You will receive an email directly from Student Mail Services. Your package will be at the Student Mail Services window for pick-up.
  • If for any reason you are unable to pick up a package or mail, another individual may be designated to pick up the item(s) on your behalf from Student Mail Services. The recipient must forward the received email to talonexpress@kennesaw.edu with the name of the authorized individual picking up the item. The individual picking up the item must bring a picture ID.
  • Items received with an unknown recipient will not be logged in; these items will be held for seven to ten (7 – 10) working days before being returned to the sender. It is the responsibility of the recipient to check with Student Mail Services if expecting a package or mail and have not received an email notification. Recipients should be prepared to provide as much information as possible about the item, including the tracking number and sender name.
  • Commuter students will not receive an email notification for packages or mail.

After the 5 day period, the letter/package will be returned to the sender.
