With O'Pake under renovation, our alumni and external recreation memberships are only available at the Athletic and Recreation Center (ARC) located on our University City campus.

We are unable to accommodate membership holds and the maximum number of family members permitted on a membership is limited to four. As a note, family members include spouses and dependents as defined by the IRS. Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult while using the recreation facilities. All members are expected to follow our University and Campus Recreation policies and procedures. Those who do not adhere to these guidelines may be subject to removal.
