You'll need your U Card to enter the campus Recreation Center, computer labs, residence hall dining rooms, etc. There is a $15.00 replacement fee for lost, stolen, or damaged U Cards.
Recreation Center
Rec Center
All visiting faculty and students need U Cards to gain access to the Recreation Center. The membership fee is not sponsored by the MRSEC. If you wish to use the Recreation Center while participating in the MRSEC summer program, you are responsible for the membership fee, which was $68 plus tax in 2005. Prices for 2006 will be posted when they become available.
