Mail Operations
In the Office of Logistics Management(OLM), the Mail Operations Unit is
responsible for the processing of mail at UConn Health. The mail center area
includes department pick-up boxes, sorting stations, and equipment for
metering of mail.
Inbound Mail
Inbound mail is picked up from the USPS twice daily. This mail is sorted
and delivered to each department daily. Accountable mail requiring signature
at the post office is processed through our package tracking system, so that
chain of custody is maintained.
Interoffice Mail
Interoffice mail is picked up at each department when deliveries are
made. This mail is brought back to the mail center, sorted, and delivered
the following day.
Outbound Mail
Outbound mail is picked up at each department when deliveries are made.
Mail is metered at the appropriate rate based on the type of mailing. First
class mail is metered at the current first class rate. For letters that
qualify, the mail center meters these at commercial postage prices. This
mail is sent to a contracted presort vendor that groups the mail by ZIP code
and prints a barcode on each piece. For more information on what qualifies
for this discounted rate see the specifications. Flats and boxes are metered
at standard rates. For special mailings, including certified, registered,
express, priority, return receipt and mailings over 100 pieces a
mail service request form is required.
To ensure accurate and timely delivery of mail, UConn Health employees
should make sure that their information is correct in the online directory.
If needed changes can be made in Banner.
