Sponsor Yourself In
All UAB and Colleague Employees are eligible for a one week trial period of the Rec Center upon becoming a member. Once the trial period has passed, said employees are eligible to sponsor themselves in with our $8 guest pass that lasts the entire day. With this guest pass they can enter the facility throughout the day with their receipt of purchase and be a member for the day. However, when said employees sponsor themselves in, they cannot sponsor any other people in until they become a member. In other words, only members can sponsor in other guests. So come and try it out or redeem your free trial and sign up today!

So, Are You Ready to Join?
Becoming a member is easy and loaded with benefits. The following steps may be completed right inside the Rec Center's Member Services' office.

1. Submit your application to the Member Services Department, along with a payroll deduction form or debit/credit card drafting form. (We also welcome your full year's payment in the form of a check, cash, Visa, MC or Discover.)

2. If you do not already have a UAB Campus Card, Campus Recreation will provide you with Key Fob for a fee of $3.00 that can be made at Membership Services.

3. Provide full payment for the full contract or the first two months if you choose to pay via payroll deduction or monthly debit/credit card drafting. 

Memberships are not prorated. For example, if you sign up on January 15, you pay for January and February up front, and then your deductions for March will be taken from your February paycheck.
