Intramural Sports Participation

• Current  non-student members of the Student Fitness Center can participate in the Campus Recreation Intramural Sports Program by paying an additional $30 participation fee per semester.

This policy was created to require  non-student members to pay a fee comparable to the recreation fee that all enrolled students pay to fund the programs and services provided to them through recreational programming.
