Facilities: Policies and Procedures

In order to provide an enjoyable experience for everyone, we ask that all patrons demonstrate respect for others by adhering to all policies and caring for property. Members and guests should familiarize themselves with the rules and room regulations as posted on-site and/or printed in the Rec Guide. Verbal instructions from staff are for the safety and comfort of all members and guests and must be followed at all times.

Attire
Use of proper athletic shoes and modest attire while using Campus Recreation facilities is required. Non-marking shoes are required on all wood floors (i.e. basketball and racquetball courts, the group exercise studio, and multi-purpose rooms). Sandals, clogs, and other open shoes are not permitted in the cardiovascular and strength areas. For safety and health issues, unaltered, sleeved T-shirts covering the torso and shoulders must be worn while using any strength or cardio equipment. Because of increased risk of injury, it is recommended that jewelry be removed prior to participating in any activities or before utilizing any equipment in the fitness areas. Please remember that jewelry is not permitted in any Intramural Sport contest.

Bags/Personal Items
Please store all items in a locker. Day lockers are available throughout the facility and in both locker rooms. Unattended items will be collected and considered lost if they are not stored in a locker.

Bicycles & Other Wheeled Vehicles
Campus Recreation supports the use of alternative transportation; however, wheeled vehicles (e.g., bicycles, skates, skateboards, and scooters) are prohibited in the Student Recreation Center and on the exterior plaza. Bicycles may be parked in the provided racks on the east side of the plaza at the owner's risk. Bicycles and scooters locked to fences, handrails, trees, or signs risk being removed. Skates, skateboards, and scooters carried into the building must be stored in a locker.

Cell phones & paging
The use of cellular phones is permitted inside the Student Recreation Center, provided they do not interfere with others' enjoyment of the facility. Please be courteous and move all cell phone conversations to a lobby or lounge area. In fairness to other patrons, cell phone use is not allowed in activity areas or locker rooms. The Student Recreation Center is equipped with a paging system; however, paging of patrons is only permitted in the case of emergencies. If there is an emergency and a patron must be reached, please contact the Service Desk at 426-1131.
