This section will contain information associated with common questions, concerns, and issues related to business management and oversight, such as:

  1. Mail and Shipping - We are making a concerted effort not to duplicate information that may be provided elsewhere on the University of Louisville website(s). Canon is the University-contracted provider for mail and shipping services. CEHD business-related staff are the subject matter experts in their respective areas of CEHD and should be the first line of support for anyone requiring assistance with mailing and shipping. CEHD business-related staff should make contact with Canon Print and Mail on behalf of faculty and administrators; neither faculty nor administrators should be asked to contact Canon on their own. Canon Print and Mail Services website URL is https://louisville.managed-print.net/ and they are the contact for USPS, UPS, FEDEX or other shipping needs and questions. Should mail or campus procedures change, be modified, or service schedules be adjusted in observation of holidays or other closures, this information would be posted at the Canon website and readily available to access.
