  I.   Policy
 
       Metered mail is to be used only for official University mail
       prepared for delivery by the U.S. Postal Service.  Postage
       stamps may be ordered through the Comptroller's Office when
       special circumstances dictate their use.  Metered postage
       and postage stamps purchased using University funds may not
       be used for personal mail.
 
  II.  Procedures
 
       All off-campus metered mail processed by Campus Mail
       Services must be accompanied by a Departmental Postage
       Charge Card.
 
       All off-campus metered mail must be separated by domestic
       and international mail.  Mail should be fastened by rubber
       band.
 
       All departmental requests for postage stamps must be
       accompanied by a Postage Order Form and submitted to the
       Comptroller's Office.
 
       The appropriate forms can be obtained by writing to the
       Department of Communication and Business Services, Business
       Operations, Patuxent Building, 4911.
