GUIDELINES FOR PERMIT INDICIA AND NON-PROFIT STATUS
William Paterson University holds a permit registered with the United States Postal Service under the special non-profit qualification in order to obtain the non-profit rate. The University's Mail Services Center finances and maintains the postage dollars in its USPS permit account to process William Paterson’s non-profit mail. Raymond Boone is the University's official mail representative for William Paterson University's non-profit status established in association with the permit and to legally protect the University's interests. All bulk mailing is required to be reviewed, reported and accounted for by the Mail Service Center.

Printing WPU permit on a mail piece for mailing purposes requires the mailing costs to be processed and reviewed by the University's MSC. Campus mail services are provided to support activities directly related to university business. It may not be used for such activities as personal letters, solicitation of funds to support religious activities, endorsing political candidates, requesting funds for non-university support, or distribution of advertising notices for activities or products not a part of the normal function of the University.
