In the residence halls, mail and packages are delivered once a day (excluding Sundays and holidays) to the front desk where the mail is distributed to individual boxes. You will obtain your mailbox number during the check-in procedure.
You will receive your mail without delay if it is addressed as follows:
Oak Street Residents
Your Name
Mailbox # (Be sure to include this)
5051 Oak Street
Kansas City, MO 64112
Johnson Residents
Your Name
Mailbox # (Be sure to include this)
5000 Oak Street
Kansas City, MO 64112
Oak Place Apartments
Your Name
Oak Place Apartments
5050 Oak Street, Your room #
Kansas City, MO 64112
When you receive a package, you will be notified at your UMKC e-mail. You must present your student ID to pick up the package at the front desk.
Mailbox Stuffing and Bulletin Boards
Only materials with residents' correct box numbers, or those specifically approved by the Residential Life Coordinator or Associate Director will be placed in personal mailboxes. Only the US Postal Service can access the mailboxes in Oak Place Apartments, so Residential Life will not be able to place items in these boxes. Information may be given to students by posting it on their apartment door.
Flyers, bulletins and brochures must be approved by the Residential Life Coordinator and then may be placed only on common-area bulletin boards. Copies of academic-oriented flyers must be given to the Residential Life Coordinator to be hung on bulletin boards throughout the complex.
