The U.S. Post Office for the city of Young Harris is located near the front of campus on College Street. All students are encouraged to obtain a P.O. Box from the Young Harris Post Office when they arrive on campus so that they can receive mail. A small box may be rented for one (1) year or six (6) months for a nominal fee. The Young Harris Post Office, phone number (706) 379-3240, is maintained by the United States Postal Service, not the College. Keys must be returned to that location upon completion of the rental period. To obtain a P.O. Box you will need to complete the required application on the U.S. Postal Service website and request a Housing Verification letter from the Office of Residence Life.
If a student does not have a P.O. Box, they are still able to receive mail and packages through the Mailroom. Items must be addressed to 1 College Street, Young Harris, GA 30582 and must include the student’s name. Students will be notified via email when they receive a package or mail in the Mailroom. Packages and mail may be picked up during Mailroom designated operating hours.
Packages
Packages will be held up to 30 days past the date of delivery. Packages received after the end of the semester may be held over breaks upon written request. Packages and mail will be returned to sender or forwarded if applicable. Any forwarding cost, if required, is the responsibility of the student and must be paid prior to services rendered. Any Unclaimed or Unlabeled packages remaining will be disposed of and/or donated at the discretion of the Mailroom. All possible attempts will be made to contact students to notify arrival of mail and packages including email and phone notification.
Perishable Packages
Any perishable items must be picked up within 48 hours of receipt by the Mailroom. Any perishable package received on a Friday, or before a Holiday, must be picked up by the student. They may designate a friend to pick up the items for them but must notify the Mailroom in writing via their YHC email. If a perishable package remains past 48 hours, or is leaking or otherwise spoiled, it will be disposed of at our discretion.
Packages Containing Medication
Students who receive medication via USPS, UPS, FedEx, or other mail delivery services should be aware of the delivery schedule and should arrange for medication to be delivered Monday - Friday during college business hours.
