Mail Forwarding

Lake Forest College Change of address form

Lake Forest College Mail Services will forward First-Class mail for any member of the campus community leaving temporarily or permanently. It is the responsibility of the departing student or faculty member to fill out a LFC change of address form with Mail Services. Postal Service change of address request forms are available from Mail Services but will not automatically forward your mail should you leave the college. Be sure to include the effective date of the change on all notification forms. Your complete new address should include any directional (north, east, south, west); the correct suffix (ST, AVE, RD, etc.); apartment number, rural route number, box number; and correct ZIP Code or ZIP+4 code (if known). 

All Express Mail, Priority Mail, and First-Class Mail such as cards and letters are forwarded for five years from the date of the last update to your records. There is no charge for this service.  You must notify correspondents, magazines, catalogs, music clubs, etc., of your new address. Magazines and catalogs are usually mailed Periodical-Class or Standard Mail and will not be forwarded or retained. Because of the nature of our forwarding mail program, only properly address mail can be forwarded. 

Only the post office accepts forwarded mail. Anything received via FedEx, UPS, Airborne Express, DHL, RPS, Emery, or any other non-postal services carrier can not be forwarded!!! All accountable items received for persons no longer on campus will be returned to sender without exceptions!!!
