No. Your room number must be the mailing number assigned to that college/department.
Not the location, or office number, of a particular person. Delivery Services wants
to ensure proper distribution of campus mail.
The consolidated functions of many different first responders into one dispatching
location will tremendously complicate using a building name to identify your location.
Many dispatchers will not have firsthand knowledge of our previous addressing system;
requiring the caller to identify their location by the locatable street address and
specific room within that facility. If you fail to do this, it may significantly delay
emergency response time.
LACS stands for Locatable Address Change Service. This is a service provided by the
U.S. Postal Service for instances when a person remains at the same location but their
address changes. Typically, this has been used when rural-style addresses are converted
to street-style addresses, but more recently it has been used to accommodate the need
to change addresses to provide 911 emergency services more accurately and locatable
addresses. It also includes a system to redirect mail to a new address. This means
that any mail using the old address will be automatically processed by the USPS for
delivery to the new address. It does not, however, provide any notification to the
sender, so UH departments will be expected to make an effort to notify their constituents
(i.e. vendors, clients, patients, donors, etc) of their new address.
Yes. ZIP +4 has been assigned to all colleges, divisions and departments on campus.
The +4 is recorded in the national ZIP Code Database and helps the USPS process mail

UH Postal Services in the sortation of your incoming mail.
