Membership FAQ's 

Can I purchase a membership to the gym for my child? 

We do not sell memberships for anyone under 18 for the following facilities: the University Recreation & Wellness Center, SoVi Pool, or Waterfront. The only facility that allows persons under 18 is the Lee County/FGCU Aquatics Center. 

I don’t want to use the gym, but my spouse does. Do I have to buy a membership?

Yes. The FGCU Affiliate membership is a sponsored membership. A qualifying membership must be purchased first before or at the same time as the Plus 1 Adult membership.

Can I play Intramural Sports if I have a membership on a monthly basis? 

Members have access to all corresponding privileges as long as their membership is current at the time of participation, regardless if it is purchased on a monthly or annual basis.   

Can First Year Alumni members play Intramural Sports? 

Memberships in the “FGCU Affiliate” or Early Eagle category are not eligible to play Intramural Sports or register for Outdoor Pursuits trips. 

Can I bring a friend who is visiting for the weekend to the URWC and Waterfront? 

We offer 2 options for daily guests:

1) Sponsored Guest Pass is a pass purchased by the member for their guest. This can be used at all of our facilities.

2) Unsponsored Guest Pass is a guest who uses facilities on their own, without the primary member. Unsponsored guests can use the Aquatics Center and/or the University Recreation & Wellness Center. See membership rates for costs of each.

I graduated 2 years ago from FGCU. What are my membership options? 

The Lee County/FGCU Aquatics Center Community membership is the only option. The University Recreation & Wellness Center is available for Alumni only within their first year after graduation.

I’m a staff member taking classes. Do I still have to purchase a membership? 

If you are using the FGCU Human Resources benefit of a tuition waiver, then yes. If you are paying tuition and fees, then you do not have to purchase a membership since your membership is covered by payment of A&S fees. 

I am 9 month faculty paid over 9 months. How would my payroll deduction work?

Faculty who are paid over 9 months can enroll for payroll deduction. Their monthly premium amounts will be as advertised, but during the summer they will need to pay Campus Recreation directly or they can work with Benefits to collect the summer premiums from their paycheck.
