Student Rec Sports Fee
All students taking 4 or more credit hours on the Columbus campus are assessed the Rec Sports fee, which provides support for all campus recreational sports facilities, programs and services. Students who are assessed the fee are automatic members of all recreational sports facilities and eligible for all member benefits. Students taking three or fewer hours of classes or at an Ohio State regional campus may purchase a membership at the student rate by visiting the ARC or RPAC.
Students may also purchase a membership for their spouse or domestic partner at the student rate. Please come to the RPAC Welcome Center to purchase this type of membership. Student members may also participate in family hours. Please click on the following link for more information on Family Hours.
Students use their BuckID as their membership card. Your facility access will be updated each quarter that you are enrolled for four or more credit hours.
The Rec Sports fee is assessed to undergraduate, graduate and professional students. Post-candidacy graduate students full time status commences at 3 credit hours and the fee will be assessed to those students. For students enrolled in the College of
Law and College of Medicine your fee is assessed on a semester basis.
Facility access is based on enrollment status, not fee status. If you are enrolled, you will have access even if you have an issue with your fees.
