Students
$0 - Included with PSU tuition and fees
Every admitted PSU student who is enrolled in at least one credit and is paying PSU tuition and student fees for the current term is automatically a Campus Rec member and has access to the Rec Center and Campus Rec resources for that academic term. Dual-enrolled high school students, including those in the Challenge Program and EXCEL program, do not receive a Campus Rec membership because they do not pay PSU student fees. Students that are also full time staff at PSU receive the “Staff Fee Waiver” and aren’t assessed the ASRC Campus Rec Fee. These students can purchase a membership at Member Services.
Student Term-Off Membership
$44 / Term
Current/returning PSU students who are not taking classes over summer term can purchase a student term-off membership in order to access the Rec Center during summer term. There are no pro-rates for a Term Off membership. The cost is $44 whenever it is purchased during the Term.
Conditions:
- You must have already been enrolled in at least one term at PSU to be eligible for a term-off membership.
- If you take off one term per the four total terms that you can enroll in, you are eligible to purchase a membership for that term.
- Student Rec Center fees are only assessed when students are enrolled in one credit or more at PSU.
Student Rec Fee
In April 2004, the PSU student body approved a referendum to recommend a Student Recreation Center Fee to be assessed at $41 per term for each student taking at least one credit to pay for the construction and maintenance of the Student Rec Center. The initial Student Rec Fee was implemented to all students taking at least one Portland State academic credit in the fall of 2009. The Student Rec Fee increased to $44 per term in 2016. Each PSU student taking at least one credit per term is automatically charged the Student Rec Fee and has access to the Rec Center and Campus Rec resources for that academic term. The fee is unique in the history of Portland State in that it is a dedicated fee for the construction of a building that benefits the entire university and Portland State community. The fee generates only one-third of the operating costs of Campus Rec. The remainder of the costs are covered by revenue generation and and funds from the PSU Student Fee Committee. A fee-supported Rec Center, which is becoming more common across the country, allows PSU to provide equal access to a variety of recreation and wellbeing programming for all students, along with enhanced programming for inclusive recreation that serves the PSU community as a whole.
