Membership
Access with K-State Wildcat ID card or membership key tag
K-State student
All K-State students are issued a Wildcat ID upon admission. It is required to be
carried at all times while on campus. This card is for the holder’s personal use only.
All student members must have their Wildcat ID to enter Rec Services facilities. Due
to safety and security issues, we will not make exceptions to this policy.
Key tag members
If you do not have your membership key tag, a "no key tag, no entry" policy will be
enforced. Due to security issues, we will not make exceptions to this policy. One
free admittance to the facility will be allowed with an expired key tag; however,
you must relinquish your key tag to the building staff to be allowed entrance to the
facility. Arrangements will be made to have your key tag picked up in the office or
the service area after a renewal occurs.
K-State Wildcat ID cards and membership key tags are not transferable.
They are for the exclusive use of the identified member and will be confiscated if
presented by anyone other than the rightful owner. Confiscated cards are subject to
payment of a misuse fee before they can be returned to the card holder. K-State ID
card holders must use a valid Wildcat ID card. All other cards will be confiscated.
For other questions regarding Wildcat ID card policy, please contact the K-State ID
Center at 785-532-6399 or by email at wildcatcard@ksu.edu.

Guest passes for groups
To aid groups in recruitment of prospective students on campus, a group may apply
for reduced guest passes at 50 percent off regular price. Apply on official letterhead
listing persons, their classification, and reason at least two weeks in advance of
date on campus. Guests must follow normal guest rules including being accompanied
by host. A minimum of five guests in group is required to qualify.
Spectators
Spectators will be admitted "at no charge" during intramural team sport seasons only.
At any other time, spectators will be charged the guest fee rate. All spectators will

Membership purchase for spouse and dependents
Membership can be sold to the spouse even if the ID holder does not wish to purchase
a membership. Spouses must present the ID holder’s ID card if making the purchase
themselves. This membership would be sold at the primary rate. When adding spouse
and dependent children ages 14-22 to a membership, family members will receive a 25
percent discount as the second or more users. One parent must be included in the plan
before dependent children will be added. This means either the ID holder or spouse
must purchase a membership for a given facility (i.e., pool, rec, or combo) before
a dependent membership can be sold for that facility.
