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’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.
