Known issues
Occasional issues arise with personal mail restrictions, as personal items should not be sent through the University's postal system. Staff and students are advised to use valid postage for personal mail and avoid sending such items to the University address. Additionally, handling confidential mail requires caution; it is recommended to use encrypted electronic delivery or track-and-trace services to prevent unauthorized access. These measures help ensure that sensitive information is securely managed and delivered to the intended recipients.
