Student Recreation Center Membership and Services

Student Memberships

Full-time and part-time students are automatically members of the Student Recreation Center because they pay the Student Activity Center Fee each semester. Upon their first visit to the Student Recreation Center each semester, students should check in at the front desk to have their membership ID card validated and enroll their hand into the bio-metric access control system.

Students' partners and dependents (16 and older) may join the Recreation Center for $22.00 a month (a 30-day period), $110 per semester or $264 for the calendar year. Each partner or dependent will need to see an attendant at the front desk and be accompanied by the currently enrolled student to obtain a membership.

Online students may join the Recreation Center for $180 per semester.
