Memberships and Fees

We welcome your interest in membership at the Student Recreation Center. We are dedicated to providing quality services for all patrons but wish to emphasize that meeting the needs of students is our top priority. Concern for recreational programming space for students guides the policies that govern membership recruitment. Thank you for showing your support for this principle by respecting the policies that govern eligibility for membership. We hope you will value your membership as we value serving your recreational needs.

Members may use any of the facilities in both the Student Recreation Center and the Racquet and Fitness Center during open hours. Building and activity hours may vary each semester due to class schedules as well as recreational sport programs and staffing issues. During holiday periods and semester breaks the facilities will have limited hours.

Membership Update

Starting May 15, 2023, we are now offering monthly, reoccurring memberships for faculty/staff, community members, and alumni/emeriti. We will be moving away from semester and year long memberships. Memberships can be purchased online or in person at the Student Recreation Center.  Current members will not be effected by this change until their current membership expires. At that point, each member will be required to purchase a monthly membership. If you have any questions, please contact Val Wells at [email protected].
