Students are sent an email (to their Xavier email address) for any packages or mail that arrive addressed to them. 

Where can I obtain a U.S. passport?

There are many post offices located throughout Cincinnati that offer passport services. Additional information about obtaining or renewing a passport can be obtained online.

What forms of tender may be used within the Mail Center?

We currently accept credit or debit cards.

Can my student have groceries delivered to the Mail Center?

No. The Mail Center does not have the capacity to receive groceries. Groceries are considered a courier service, and these orders should be delivered directly to the recipient.  Please give a contact number at the time of ordering so they may deliver.  Students must be available and ready to receive a call for delivery. In addition, please use the address of the resident building itself and not the Mail Center address.
