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

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.
