- All mail coming to the mailroom must be bundled with rubber bands or paper clips (available in the mailroom).
- Confidential mail must be put into a new, unused envelope and sealed with its original glue.
- Do not use staples to seal envelopes or packages, used or new. This applies to all U of T Scarborough internal, St. George/I.U.T.S., and Canada Post mail.

- Cash (paper or coin) should never be put into any mail stream, including U of T Scarborough internal.
- Should you have a distribution (internal) of emergency nature, notify mailroom staff for assistance.
Feel free to ask mailroom staff any questions you may have.
- Please clearly group mail that is to be processed on the mailing machine into the following categories to ensure speedy handling:
- Country of destination (3 separate bundles):
- Canada
- U.S.A
- International
- Weight
- Size (#10 envelopes; 8 1/2" x 11" envelopes; etc.)
- Sealed envelopes vs. those to be sealed here.
Once in these categories, bundle all of the categories with a rubber band and then bundle all of those together with one big rubber band. Leave the mail in the appropriate bin for outgoing mail. If your mailing is too large for the allotted space, ask staff for assistance.
- All mail requiring postage must be accompanied with the Postage Form. Please complete, sign and attach this form with all envelopes/ packages. Any envelopes/ packages dropped off in the mail room without this form will not be stamped or processed and will be returned to the department.
- If your department’s account numbers change, please notify mailroom staff of the change.
- All envelopes are to be closed individually. Please ask mailroom staff for a demonstration.
- Special arrangements must be made to take large mailings (in excess of 1,000 pieces). Please notify mailroom staff at least one week in advance for large mailings.
- Envelopes with the seal on the short side of the envelope need to be labeled as shown in the picture, as this is the only way that allows the mailing machine to both stamp and seal the envelope.
- Please seal any envelopes that are more than 1 cm thick, as the mailing machine cannot seal envelopes that are too thick. For current Canada Post rates please check their website.
Mail is metered every weekday morning at 8:00 a.m. for the current date.
