There is no deposit for combination boxes.

Students wishing to acquire a post office box can either come to the Post Office and fill out the new box application or fill out the online Post Office Box Application ABOVE  and have the fee added to their invoice. This fee will be added to your tuition and other fees. *NOTE: Post Office boxes cannot be shared, if so each party will be charged for use of the post office box.
