Things to know before you begin to register:
  • In order to get member rates for paid programs, you must first be a member. If you are not a current member but are in the process of becoming a member, first buy your membership. Then in a second separate transaction, you can purchase the program at the member rate.
  • Only locker renewals can be done online. First-time locker rentals MUST be purchased in person at the Member Services window during their open hours.
  • To renew a membership online, you must be purchasing the same membership. Any change in date duration or category (ex: Semester to Annual, Community to Faculty/staff) is considered a new membership and must be purchased accordingly.
  • To Renew a membership/locker once logged in, click on your username in the upper right, then select “Profile”. On the left of that page under “Personal Information”, select Memberships (or Locker) and a button will be there that says “Renew”.
  • A primary member must have a current membership in order for another person linked to them to purchase/renew.
  • Items that cannot be purchased online include: one-day guest pass
