Please do not place online orders after December 1st during the fall semester or after April 15th during the spring semester.  Any packages received after close of semester will be returned to sender as undeliverable. When ordering items before the fall and spring semester please ensure that they arrive to campus no earlier than two business days prior to the start of move-in for that semester as storage space is limited. All perishable items should be clearly marked. Please avoid sending pre-cooked foods in the mail whenever possible as we are unable to guarantee timed deliveries.
