Campus Mail

The campus mail service only runs smoothly if the correct ZotCode is applied. Please make sure you are using the correct ZotCode when addressing mail for all campus departments, both on-campus and off-campus. Omitting a ZotCode may result in failure to deliver mail, even if the remainder of the address is accurate. This mail could be sent back to Distribution Services and re-routed, adding at least two extra days to the delivery process.

Review the ZotCode list for your department. 

Updating or Adding a ZotCode

Keeping campus address data current requires campus departments to provide up-to-date information. Please inform Distribution Services if your department is planning to move or change its name. Occasionally, a department may need to add a new ZotCode. You may also update your ZotCode.

For more information regarding the assignment of ZIP+4/ZotCode, please contact the Distribution Services Manager at (949) 824-4735.

When addressing your campus mail, remember to:

• Address with recipient’s full name, department, and ZotCode
• Use an official campus (large tan) envelope
• Seal before sending

Campus mail in an official campus envelope does not need a return address.

Do not use standard white business envelopes as they can be mistaken for outgoing mail.

Checks for deposit with the Central Cashier should be placed in special plastic zippered Expedited Check Deposit bags rather than campus envelopes. The Expedited Check Deposit bags are placed in one of the campus drop boxes marked Special Mail, or in the Special Mail slot in 135 Aldrich Hall. Bags deposited in the drop box by the pick-up time are delivered to the Central Cashier by 3:00PM the same day.

Distribution Services delivers checks and Surepay documents, addressed and sealed by the Payroll Office are delivered to departments with their daily mail delivery each payroll day.
