The staff pantries and faculty lounge are for use by staff and faculty only and may not be used for event support (caterers must be self-sufficient).

Lockers

At the start of the fall semester, students select one locker via the web.  Students must provide their own locks.  Master Lock key locks, not combination locks, are recommended.  Irreplaceable or expensive items should not be stored in lockers.

Any and all thefts should be reported to: (1) the Dean of Students, (2) the Infocenter, (3) Building Services, and (4) the Security Office (111 Low Library).  Students will be asked to provide information for an official report.

Students must remove locks and locker contents at the end of the school year.  Items removed from lockers by the Infocenter are stored for 60 days before being discarded.

To reserve a locker, log onto LAWNET starting Tuesday, August 12, 2008, and select the locker of your choice.  Submissions before this date will not be considered.
 
For your reference, a map of the locker area is available online. All the lockers are located on the First floor of Jerome L. Greene Hall and are maintained through the Law School Information Center.  If you need help making your on-line selection, please contact the Student Technology Group in room JG216I.

All locks and contents must be removed from lockers at the end 
of the school year (Friday, May 24, 2009).  Returning students will be 
able to select a new locker assignment at the start of each school year.

Questions about lockers should be directed to Information Center
Administrative Assistants at 212-854-9161.

Lost & Found

The Infocenter processes and stores all lost and found items for 60 days.  After 60 days, unclaimed lost and found items are discarded.

University Security, 1st floor Low Building, x42797, is the main lost and found depository for Morningside campus.

Inbound Mail Delivery and Processing

Inbound mail arrives from the Post Office mid day, Monday through Saturday.

Express packages are delivered directly to the Information Center.  The Infocenter staff places a "Notification of Package Delivery" in the addressee's mailbox. The addressee exchanges the notice for the package and signs for the package in the Infocenter express package receipt log.

Outbound Mail Collection and Processing

All outbound mail requires an account number.  The Infocenter staff may, at its discretion, ask University Central Mail to process large mailings.

To ease processing, please band letter mail together with overlapping flaps.  Envelopes larger than size 10 (4 1/8 x 9 1/2) can not be sealed by the postage machine and must be sealed by the sender.

Spring Global Mail is used for delivery of outbound international first class mail.  Spring "Gold" service usually delivers mail in 4 to 8 days; "Silver" service usually delivers mail in 6 to 14 days.  International first class mail with no specific delivery requirement and which is not time sensitive is shipped via Spring's Silver service.

If a shipment is time sensitive, USPS Priority Mail or overnight services such as USPS Express Mail or FEDEX should be specified by the sender.
