Mail Delivery
The United States Postal Service will deliver mail to the postal distribution center on campus. However, mail will not be transferred to its final destination until the offices re-open.
Packages sent by delivery services (UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.) will be accepted and signed for at a central location, but will not be distributed to specific departments until university offices reopen.
Expedited Grading
The expedited grading policy promises that your grade will be entered into the system in five business days of receipt by the Distance Learning Center. Please note that days that the office is closed are not considered business days. In addition, while your coursework may reach Drake University during the winter break, it will not be delivered to the Distance Learning Center until the offices have reopened, which will delay the start of your expedited grading time line.
