Why doesn't my ID work when scanned at the Wellness Center?

Reasons could include:

  • your ID is expired or you're no longer a member.
  • student fees need to be paid.
  • you have a Household Membership but your child is now over 26 years old.
  • .you are a faculty or staff member with no membership
    • Faculty/staff can use the facility without membership by paying $5 per visit with valid ID (identify your status at the entry).
  • you're a part-time student (with less than 6 hours).
    • Part-time students pay $3 per visit at the Wellness Center; identify yourself as part-time at the entry.
  • you don't have recreation privileges.
  • you are a current IEI student who has not paid the fee to activate facility access privileges.
  • you need to pay Activity Fees at the USBS office to access to the our facilities.
  • you are UofM faculty or staff and going to class as a student at the University.
  • you may have dual status. Faculty/staff status has priority over student status, causing the ID to not scan correctly. Identify yourself as dual status at the front desk and speak with a supervisor to gain access.

Can I bring a guest?

Yes! Guests over 16 years of age are allowed to use our facilities by purchasing a guest pass for $15, good for one visit. Guest passes are available Friday-Sunday ONLY.  Guests can only purchase FIVE guest passes within a semester. Once reaching this limit, you must purchase a membership to continue using our facilities.

Guest passes are sold on-site only and you must present a valid ID. Those under 16 years of age must come with a parent or guardian who must stay with them during their visit. 

Can I purchase a pool membership?

We do not offer memberships specifically for the pool, but you may purchase a $15 guest pass for each visit or purchase a 3-month Community Membership for the summer. You'll have access to everything we offer!

Do I need my ID to go to my academic P.E. class in the Wellness Center or SRSC?

Yes. The first time you forget your ID, you will be asked to sign in and be escorted to your class. The next time you forget your ID, a $5 fee will be required. 

Help! I lost my ID!

Items found are kept for 24 hours, then logged in and sent to the USBS office or Student Conduct, depending on the situation. If your old ID was replaced, it will no longer work if a new one is made. We confiscate duplicate IDs and all non-working IDs.
