Membership Categories

STUDENT

Currently-enrolled FIU students with up-to-date payment of the Activity and Services (A & S) fee are automatically REC members, pay no additional membership fee, and are permitted to use and participate in all UP Recreation Services activities.

UNIVERSITY MEMBER (Rates)

  • EMPLOYEES of the University, including Faculty, Administrative (formerly A&P), Staff (formerly USPS) and full-time OPS staff, are eligible to purchase a REC Membership. Benefited employees may purchase a REC Membership either on an annual or semester basis, or through payroll deduction. Only employees receiving full benefits can use the payroll deduction method (except Virgin HealthMiles Program participants).
  • STUDENTS NOT CURRENTLY ENROLLED (SNCE) may purchase a REC Membership for no more than one semester after the most recent semester of enrollment. FIU transcript or proof of recent enrollment is required. Dual Degree Program students (17 years of age or older) are eligible to purchase memberships at the SNCE rate (click here for more information on who qualifies for Dual Degree enrollment). Individuals under 18 years of age must have parent/legal guardian signature.

AFFILIATE MEMBER (Rates)

  • GENERAL ALUMNI may purchase a REC Membership on either an annual or term basis. Alumni are defined as graduates or individuals who have accumulated 30 or more credit hours from Florida International University. Alumni members must be able to present proof of status (diploma or transcript) with the completed REC Membership Application Form.
  • FIU ALUMNI ASSOCIATION members will receive a discount on the regular REC membership rate. To qualify, a current-year FIU Alumni Association membership card/key tag must be presented at time of purchase.
  • The SPOUSE / SAME-SEX PARTNER (SSP) of any of the above categories are eligible to purchase a REC Membership. The qualifying Spouse member must present proof of marriage and his/her Panther ID along with the spouse's completed application form at the time of purchase. The qualifying Same-Sex Partner (SSP) must provide proof of status as listed in the Human Resources Policies (www.fiu.edu/hr) under "Same-Sex Domestic Partnership Health Insurance Stipend". The qualifying Employee member may add their spouse/SSP to the payroll deduction option. There are no provisions for dependent memberships.
  • RETIREES/EMERITUS are those individuals who, having been employed by the University for a length of time, have officially retired from service and are recognized as such by the Office of Human Resources. Retirees may purchase a REC Membership on either an annual or term basis.
  • SENIOR CITIZEN FEE WAIVERS: Florida residents 60 years of age or older who are properly registered with the FIU Registrar's Office and wishing to use the Recreation Center must purchase an Affiliate Membership at the Alumni Association rate. Proof of enrollment is required at time of purchase. Click here for more information.

COMMUNITY INDIVIDUALS

While the Recreation Center is not open to the general public, individuals with a strong desire to gain REC membership have the opportunity to do so by becoming part of the FIU Alumni Association (even if there is no prior affiliation with FIU).

  • The FIU Alumni Association offers a "Friend of FIU" membership category for an annual membership fee of $50 (individual) or $75 (couple with same address). Click here to go to the Alumni Association web site for more details.
  • Once that membership is attained, REC membership is then available at the FIU Alumni Association rate. As with regular FIU Alumni Association members, a current-year membership card/key tag must be presented at the time of purchase.
