Facility Usage Guidelines

The following rules and regulations governing the use of all recreational facilities have been created to provide equal opportunity and protect the rights of each participant. Staff are employed to interpret and enforce the usage guidelines, as well as posted room regulations. As a member of the university community, you have a responsibility to understand and abide by these guidelines and other rulings. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Membership Services office.
