How to Join Campus Recreation

Members must sign up for at least a full semester, no month to month payments can be accepted.

Students:

Full time UM students with 7 credits or more automatically have the Campus Recreation Fee added to their Tuition Bill.

Part-time (6 credits or less), Missoula College, and MSU Nursing students have the option to elect the Campus Recreation Fee.  The Fee can be added to your Cyberbear account by visiting Griz Central and asking to have the "Campus Recreation Fee" added, or anytime at the Front Desk of the Fitness and Recreation Center (this option takes longer to process).

All other Members:

There are two ways to join as a Campus Recreation Member:

Membership by Term

The Membership Terms are autumn, spring and summer.  Members must sign up for at least one full term.  Members may sign up for one, two, or all three terms.  Month-to-month memberships are not available.  Membership terms are not prorated over the course of the month, but are prorated over the course of the membership term, meaning members will not have to pay for past months during a term.
