Mail Services
Mail forwarding from Evanston to Doha
The Qatar Support Office forwards United States Postal Service and campus interoffice mail to Northwestern faculty, staff, and their family members in Qatar.
- Mailed items
U.S. mail includes personal mail items such as letters, documents, journals and magazines, catalogs, and other flat materials. The QSO exercises discretion in discarding and not forwarding obvious junk mail. The QSO will not mail personal packages. See below for instructions regarding personal packages. For additional information, employees should consult NU-Q mail policy (pdf). - Mail frequency
The QSO forwards mail to Qatar on Mondays and Thursdays. Mail typically arrives at NU-Q within three business days. The QSO forwards scholarly/professional material and NU-Q departmental purchases to Qatar in separate shipments. - Correct address format
