AUTHORIZATION FORMS
An Authorization Form must be completed by the sender and accompany the materials to be sent when utilizing the following services:
  • United States Postal Service Express
  • United Parcel Service (UPS)

After the form is received by Mail Services, a monthly bill will be sent to the head of the department. The only time this form is not needed is when payment accompanies the item being shipped. Forms are available from Mail Services and your department secretary.

The Mail Services Manager must sign the form and forward it to the Computer Center. The Computer Center will not process the label request without the proper signatures. The label request forms can be obtained from your department secretary or from the Mail Services Manager. You can now request labels or have the data base put on a disk for mailing.
