Welcome to the College Nine Mailroom - Spring 2023

Mailbox assignments were emailed to all students.  Please check your emails for your mailbox number and combination. 

Please refrain from purchasing liquid materials such as detergents.  If it leaks, it causes a tremendous problem and can contaminate other packages

Groceries and Perishable Items - Blue Apron, HelloFresh, DoorDash, Safeway, etc. Grocery deliveries are tricky. We recommend:

  • Scheduling deliveries during hours of operation. We are not staffed in the evenings or on weekends, and boxes delivered outside of business hours run the risk of being stolen, perishing, or being disposed of.
  • Picking up food deliveries as soon as possible. The Mailroom has no refrigeration, no air conditioning, and is often warm and stuffy. Grocery deliveries left in the Mailroom for prolonged periods of time may expire, attracting ants and rodents. College Nine is not responsible for the condition of food/grocery deliveries. Grocery/food deliveries not picked up within 3 days may be disposed for staff health and safety.

Please check the mailroom nine website frequently as hours are subject to change especially the first 2 weeks of school, holidays and finals week. 

Due to the expected increase of packages, the staff cannot search for individual packages.  We strongly urge you to wait until you receive an email notification from C9 Mailroom that your package has been delivered, logged in and ready for pickup.  Notices from vendors stating that your package has arrived does not mean that the package has been delivered to your mailroom. 

Here is your address:

First and Last Name
UCSC, College Nine
702 College Nine Rd #_____(your assigned mailbox number)
Santa Cruz, CA  95064

On behalf of the College Nine mailroom, we wish you a wonderful school year!
