These changes affect how specific types of outgoing mail must be handled.</p><p><strong>Summary of Changes:</strong></p><ul>
<li>
<p>Any item sent in a <strong>padded envelope</strong>, a <strong>box</strong>, or any item with a <strong>tracking number</strong> (e.g., Certified Mail or USPS Tracking) <strong>must now include a COA form</strong>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Items mailed in a <strong>regular envelope</strong> or <strong>standard flat envelope</strong> <strong>do not</strong> require a COA — <strong>unless</strong> the mailing is being sent <strong>in bulk (200 pieces or more).</strong></p>
</li>
</ul><p>To help with this transition, we can <strong>drop off COA forms</strong> to your department so they can be attached to the applicable mailings.</p><p>Since we aren’t always sure who handles mailing in each area, please help by sharing this information with anyone in your department who might be involved in preparing outgoing mail.</p><p>
</p><p>If you have any questions or need additional COA forms, feel free to reach out.</p><p>
</p><p>Best regards,</p></div></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><font face="arial black, sans-serif"><b>Lauryn Carter</b><br></font><p style="margin:0px"><font color="#0000ff" face="comic sans ms, sans-serif">Mail Services Supervisor | Campus Business Services</font></p><p style="margin:0px"><font color="#0000ff" face="comic sans ms, sans-serif">University of California, Riverside</font></p><p style="margin:0px"><font color="#0000ff" face="comic sans ms, sans-serif">Office: 951-827-6126</font></p><font color="#0000ff" face="comic sans ms, sans-serif">
