Recreation: Membership Information

RIT recreation memberships are available to the RIT community, alumni, family, and friends.

During the summer, free access will be granted to students registered for the previous Spring and the upcoming Fall quarters. Students must contact the SLC Main Office to activate their summer membership.

RIT faculty, staff, retirees, and trustees also receive the benefit of automatic access. Trustees will be granted access upon notification of the SLC Main Office.

All other recreation memberships requiring payment are provided through the SLC Main Office and may be purchased with cash, check, credit card, or Tiger Bucks. First time members must register in person and provide a valid photo ID in order to acquire an RIT recreation ID.
