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.

Students must remove locks and locker contents at the end of the school year. Items removed from lockers by the Information Center are stored for two weeks before being discarded.

Any and all thefts should be reported to:

• Public Safety;
• the Dean of Students;
• the Information Center;
• Building Services; and
• the Security Office (111 Low Library). Students will be asked to provide information for an official report.

To reserve a locker, log onto LawNet and select the locker of your choice. For your reference, a map of the locker area is available online. All 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 Jerome Greene Hall, Room 216I.

All locks and locker contents must be removed from lockers at the end of the school year. Returning students may select a new locker assignment at the start of each school year. Questions about lockers should be directed to the Information Center at 212-854-4477.

Lost & Found

The Information Center processes and stores all lost and found items for 30 days. After 30 days, unclaimed lost and found items are discarded. The main lost and found depository for Morningside Campus is located at University Security, 1st floor Low Library, extension 212-854-2797.

Inbound Mail Delivery and Processing

Inbound mail arrives from the Post Office midday, Mondays through Fridays. Express packages are delivered directly to the Information Center. The Information Center staff places a Notification of Package Delivery message in each addressee's mailbox. The addressee exchanges the notice for the package and signs for the package in the Information Center’s express package receipt log.

Outbound Mail Collection and Processing

All outbound mail requires an account number. The Information Center’s 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 inches x 9 inches) cannot 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 four to eight days; "Silver" service usually delivers mail in six to 14 days. International first-class mail with no specific delivery requirement, which is not time sensitive is shipped via Spring's Silver service.

If a shipment is time sensitive, the sender should specify the use of USPS Priority Mail or overnight services such as USPS Express Mail or Fedex.
Outbound mail collections occur Mondays through Fridays at 11 a.m., 2 p.m., and 3:30 p.m. at the following locations:
