How do I join the Fitness Center?

The first step in joining the Fitness Center is to go to the cashier's window in the college’s Administration Building to pay the membership fee. During the fall semester, the cashier's window is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:00 pm.  Next, take your receipt to the Fitness Center and a staff member will assist you with completing the appropriate forms. A photo identification card for new members will be provided by the Fitness Center staff and placed on file. Persons who cannot visit the cashier's window during regular business hours may pay with a check or money order at the Fitness Center.
