Post
Post which arrives via all external postal services and the University's internal mail system (UMS) is sorted by the Porters and placed into student pigeonholes in the Porters' Lodge. We recommend that pigeonholes are checked daily and certainly at least three times per week. Post is not forwarded to College members living elsewhere in Cambridge. Students can place personal post, with a postal fee affixed, in an out-tray in the Porters Lodge for collection at the end of each day by our external courier, Mailability, which feeds into the Royal Mail postal system. Post for University departments and other colleges can be sent by UMS, for a small charge, for which there is an out-tray in our Porters' Lodge.
If a student has been given permission to work away from College, or if they will be away during the Long, Easter, or Christmas Vacations, and they wish their post to be forwarded they must make arrangements with the Porters Lodge before they leave Cambridge. When a student returns to Cambridge they must let the Porters' Lodge know so that their pigeonhole can be reactivated and mail forwarding ceased. When a student graduates or leaves the College our Porters Lodge, by prior arrangement, can forward post for three months, after which mail will be returned to sender.
If you are living in College accommodation, your mail must ONLY be addressed to:
Lucy Cavendish College
Lady Margaret Road
Cambridge
CB3 0BU
(do NOT use the name of the building you are staying in).

Contact details for College members can be found here.
