Mailbox Numbers & Combinations

All boxes at the University Post Office are accessed via a combination-style lock. Students are encouraged to keep their combinations confidential at all times.

Students may obtain their mailbox number and combination by logging in to their AppalNET account.

  • Click on Self Service

  • Choose the Personal Information tab 

  • Select "View Addresses and Telephone Numbers"

Lost or forgotten combinations and/or box numbers may be replaced in person at the Customer Service window during operating hours. Combinations cannot be given out by telephone, fax, or e-mail. A valid form of I.D. (student I.D. or driver's license) must be presented in order for students to replace their combinations. The I.D. must be that of the person to whom the box is assigned.

Help Prevent Mail Theft

Help prevent mail theft: Please be sure that your Appalachian Post Office Box is locked each time after you check your mail. Turning the combination dial to the left after closing your box is the only way to do this. If you do not turn the dial to the left, your box will be accessible to anyone.

Remember--sending cash through the mail is never a good idea. Use a check or Postal Money Order instead.
