 Written instructions:

Step 1) Request Equipment

  1. Your Executive POC can submit an equipment request on your behalf following the instructions here: Equipment or Software Request.
     
  2. Wait for an email notification: When your equipment is ready for pickup, you will receive an email notification letting you know your items are ready in the lockers. You will need this email to pickup IT equipment.
  • The email will contain your 6-digit PIN Code and/or barcode; either option will allow you to access the appropriate locker(s). 
  • Your items will remain in the locker for 5 business days after the notification is sent. 
    • If you are unable to pickup within the five (5) business days, please contact IT Support Services at 614-287-5050. Your pickup will be re-scheduled and you will receive another notification when it is ready. The notice may not be immediate depending on volume as locker space is limited.
       
  • Note: The emails will have the [EXTERNAL] warning because the email is coming from noreply@neopostwts.com, not cscc.edu. It will look similar to this:Email header titled ", Subject: [EXTERNAL] A Package for you has been delivered to Parcel Lockers"" From: noreply@neopostwts.com

     3. Bring your employee badge to campus, it may be needed to gain access to the building and room.

  • If you have trouble opening the door, please contact the CSCC Police Department at 614-287-2525 to gain access to the room.
     
  • The smart lockers are available at various heights and are assigned randomly to users. If you need to request a locker below 48” for any reason, please contact IT Support Services at 614-287-5050 for assistance prior to coming to campus.
