Mailbox Combinations
You can access your mailbox combination on the Housing portal. Please login using your SJSU ID number and your SJSUOne password to retrieve your mailbox combination. If you cannot access your mailbox or combination, please contact the Housing office for assistance, 2nd floor of Campus Village Building B. The mailroom staff in Joe West hall does not have access to mailbox combinations and will not be able to give it to you.
If your mailbox combination is not working, please go to the Joe West mailroom, and the mailroom staff can assist you in getting it to work, or will change it for you so it will work.
ONLY residents in Joe West, CVB and CVA will have Mailbox combinations and a physical mailbox to go check your mail.
Residents in Washburn, CV2 and CVC will go to the Joe West mailroom to pick up your mail.

If you receive a package through the USPS that requires a signature, it will be held at the St. James Post Office at 105 North 1st Street and you will receive a tan notification slip in your mailbox. If you wish to pick up your packages at the mailroom, we recommend that you notify your senders to use FedEx, UPS, DHL, or another carrier.
