New to UMass?
New to UMass? In a new position and responsible for department office operations? Need a refresher since you are now back on site? Understanding and navigating the UMass system can be confusing. We have put together several educational materials to take the confusion out of mail, shipping and receiving for your office.
In January each year, the US Postal Service releases postal rate increases and updates to mailing regulations. This year the increase in postage cost includes the cost of a first-class stamp and a significant increase for priority mail cost. There are also new requirements for address lists (penalties for poor data quality) and requirements for sending international packages that will result in your mail being returned if you fail to provide the new required information. Come find out the details and how your budget and shipping process will be affected. The breakout sessions will be run by Mail & Distribution Services and Research Compliance.
The combined Mail 101 class transcript can be found below in the Resources section.
