Become a Member

*Most students attending classes on campus during the semester are already members, paying the membership fee within their student fees. Just bring your UNT ID or download the UNT Rec Sports app to scan in and participate!

Students who are not assessed the Rec Center membership in the student fees portion of their tuition are still eligible to become members. These students can stop by the Rec Center during open hours and pay the exact same price (listed below) at our Member Services desk. Continuing students are also eligible to purchase a membership at the same price by visiting our Member Services desk inside the Rec Center during open hours.

For more information please reach out to us in person at the Rec Center or call us at 940-565-2275!

 

Any member may sponsor up to three individuals per day. The guest fee for persons 16 and older is $10 each. Individuals under 16 years of age are free. The member must be in the facility with the guest(s) at all times, directly supervise guests under 16 years of age and is responsible for his/her guest’s conduct. Guests over 16 must provide photo identification (i.e., driver’s license, school I.D.). The eligible user must present his/her UNT ID card to obtain the guest pass. The guest pass is valid only for the date listed on the receipt (if applicable).

 

Recurring monthly memberships are available for purchase with a credit card on file or through payroll deduction (if applicable).

Credit Card Purchases: The monthly fee will automatically be charged on the first of each month. There will be a pro-rated amount owed at the time of purchase to cover the initial costs for the current month.

Payroll Deduction Purchases: In order to successfully sign up for payroll deduction you must fill out the Payroll Deduction form (click the "Payroll Deduction Form" button below) and return it to the Rec Center in person. WE CANNOT ACCEPT EMAILED FORMS. The monthly membership amount will be deducted from your paycheck each month. Based on the way our payroll deduction system works, if you sign up after the 17th of the month, you would owe a pro-rated amount up front that would include the initial costs for the current month and the next month’s amount. If you sign up on or before the 17th of the month you will only owe a pro-rated amount for the current month.

Please also note: This option is only available for those employees who receive 12 paychecks. 9-month employees (receiving only 9 paychecks) can use the monthly recurring credit card membership option for the same price. Payroll deduction will also no longer be a "payment for services already rendered." It will now pay for the month in which the deduction occurs (i.e. September 1 deduction pays for the month of September). Because of this there will be a required payment at the time of purchase to get "caught up" to the month when the first deduction will happen.

Annual memberships are still available with a one time payment. To purchase a membership or find out more details about the recurring monthly membership click the button below.
