The University of Surrey’s post office will reopen under new management on January 14, 2025.

It will remain in the same location within the busy Co-op store on the university’s campus at Stag Hill, Guildford.

Post Office services will be available 40 hours a week with the opening hours Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm.

The Post Office counter by the Co-op checkout is due to be reopened in January.

The branch has been closed since July due to the resignation of the previous operator. The Co-op has now taken over and the post office is being restored.

A Post Office spokesperson said: “Being a university student brings with it additional responsibilities as they grapple living on their own for the first time, managing their own life admin and progressing their side hustles to help pay for university life.

“We are dedicated to supporting students, especially as they start university and navigate life on their own for the very first time.

“Having a Post Office on campus is very convenient for students and all the people who work at the university site. It helps ease the burden of life admin tasks from paying bills or updating a passport, banking and for sending and receiving parcels.”
