Minor Definition

As defined by the Department of University Recreation, for the purpose of accessing the Campus Recreation Center, a minor is anyone 18 years of age or younger where a guardian and minor relationship exists. The maximum age for this relationship to exist for University Recreation membership purposes is 18 years of age, per Alabama State Law. Everyone is allowed in during all hours of operation.

Levels of Access

* Direct Supervision is defined as being in the same room no further than 20 feet apart.

Parent/guardian MUST be actively participating in the same activity as the minor i.e. playing basketball together, playing racquetball together, swimming together, etc. This does not mean that the parent can be, for example, in a group exercise class while the minor sits along the wall and watches.

** Indirect supervision is defined as parent/legal guardian must be in the facility at the same time as the minor; however, both are not required to be in the same area.

All minors must enter and exit the Campus Recreation Center with their parent/guardian.

Minor Membership to Household Membership transition

Minor Members with the Minor 12-month memberships paid via monthly deductions (both Credit Card or Payroll), who turn 19 years of age will automatically transition to the Household 12-month memberships during the month they turn 19 years of age; the membership status and membership dues will adjust accordingly.
