Your Student’s Wellness

Once your student is on campus, he or she will have access to health and wellness services and resources, such as counseling.

Parents of Students with Disabilities

The transition into a university setting can be stressful for any student, but for parents of students with disabilities, unique concerns may also be present. The Educational Access Center can help make the transition smoother.

Send Mail to Your Student

To mail your student a letter or package, please include his or her full name (not nickname), ATTN: Mail Services, and the university address. It’s also a good idea to get a tracking number on any item of value.

Example:
John L. Smith
ATTN: Mail Services
3900 Lomaland Dr.
San Diego, CA 92106

All packages received by mail services are entered into our system. Once we have done this, your student will receive an email stating that he or she has a package. Package pickup is open Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

All letters will also be available at package pickup.
