| Q. |
Why do I have to put the department name in the return address as long as I have a CMU envelope? |
|---|
| A. |
When an envelope is returned to the Central Mailroom because of an incorrect address or for another reason, an envelope without a return address has to be opened to find out which department sent it. This can be eliminated if the envelope has a proper return address.

| Q. |
When I receive a piece of mail with "Postage Due" marked on it, how do I pay? |
