As of January 2, 2025 the membership pricing and structure was updated. The addition of family members has also been changed and can be found in the Add-On Memberships for Additional Family Members section.
Current membership will be carried out until their expiration date. Membership renewals will then transition to the new structure and pricing. Information on the changes and any actions needed will be included in the renewal reminder email, sent shortly before your membership expires.
Memberships
We offer several different options for memberships. MTSU Students and full-time Faculty & Staff have free memberships that are automatically activated. Semester-based memberships are available for eligible individuals. If you are interested in a membership, see the Pricing and Details below.
Please note that some programs and services require an active membership, while others do not. Visit each program/service webpage or contact Campus Rec for details.
*Student Memberships are included in the Recreation Fee paid with tuition.
Add-On Memberships for Additional Family Members
Additional Family Member memberships can only be renewed in person
Only 1 semester can be purchased at a time if adding Additional Family Members to a Student Membership as enrollment of the Student Member must be verified each semester
**Additional Family Members being added to a Student Membership are not eligible for 2- and 3-semester memberships. They must come in each year so it can be confirmed that the Student Membership is still active.
