Offices supplying notices or information to every students mailbox will need to make arrangements well in advance and needs to supply their own personnel to stuff the boxes.

Bulk or Non-profit mail:
NDSCS has a permit for both bulk and non-profit mail. This allows the college to send certain mailings at considerable cost savings. There are strict regulations as to preparation and contents however, basically the mailing has to be in a form letter or publication and consist of minimum of 200 pieces. To send bulk or non-profit mailing, the contents should be presented to mailroom personnel for approval before it is printed. Essentially, business reply mail serves in the place of pre-stamped reply mail, which sometimes is enclosed with the original piece of mail and postage is charged back to the department or campus office. Business reply mail can be obtained through the Copy Center after obtaining authorization from the mailroom personnel.
