All full-time undergraduate students are assigned a UT Mail Box. Important University communications are frequently distributed through the UT Post Office, and students are responsible for checking their boxes regularly.

The University of Tampa Post Office is located in Henry B. Plant Hall (first floor, north end) next to Fletcher Lounge. The general customer service windows are open from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. and mail/postage services window is open from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Cash only, please — no credit or debit cards. 

Mail/Package Delivery and Pickup Schedule
