Best Practices and Guidelines

Whenever your office/floor has any changes in personnel, we would appreciate it if you could give the mailroom an updated list of all people who should be receiving mail in your office or department. Last name first alphabetically please. Also, please send us any forwarding addresses of employees, who have left, it would be greatly appreciated.

Guidelines

  1. Use your Harvard office return address
  2. Make sure all outgoing mail has your account number in the upper left-hand corner near your return address
  3. If your office is located off campus (not on Appian Way), make sure you have “Harvard Graduate School of Education” in your address for incoming mail
  4. Face pieces in the same direction
  5. Seal “"Self"-sealing envelopes

Guidelines Con't

  1. Overlap flaps for machine sealing
  2. Cover sharp staple ends with tape, or  don’t use staples; use tape for sealing packages
  3. Tightly fasten the metal-clasp envelopes
  4. Seal THICK (over an inch) pieces
  5. Please, no personal mail
  6. Notify us by calling the mailroom staff before preparing what you consider a large or heavy mailing OR if you have more than your usual load for pick up.
