- Your Green Mail Card is scanned when we process your mail. The Chartfield associated with the Green Mail Card will be billed.
- Note: departments who send unsealed mail to Print & Mail will be charged $0.02 per piece to seal it.

A Chartfield is an account number used to buy from on campus services and vendors (like a checking account for your department, except no checks – just credits and debits.) Your supervisor will decide which of your department accounts to use for mailing charges.
These blanks are used to identify the appropriate contact person and reference a specific mail piece should we ever run into a problem or have a question about a particular mailing. Some departments have multiple units/individuals using the same card and sending out mail the same day, which can be problematic if we don’t know who to contact to resolve a problem. Completing this information helps us identify who can answer a question and get the mail out in a timely manner.
