Facility membership
Undergraduate and graduate students pay campus privilege fees with their tuition. This gives them use of Recreational Services facilities at no additional charge by presenting their valid student ID card each time admitted. All other facility users must be K-State affiliated and fee-paying under our pricing structure.
To purchase a facility use membership, bring proper identification to the Recreational Services office. The office is located in the entrance lobby of the Recreation Complex and is open Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m., and Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., including the noon hour.
Membership purchase
Facility use can be purchased by the day, month, or up to a year. A daily use pass is good for the day of purchase and is described in further detail below. Monthly membership will be good for one month from date of purchase. Yearly membership will be good for one year from date of purchase.
Alumni association members are reminded that facility membership cannot be purchased beyond the expiration date shown on their alumni association card.
Payment of facility use fees can be made by cash, personal check, or MasterCard/VISA/ Discover/American Express.
A payroll deduction plan is available to benefit-eligible faculty/staff. Please call the administrative office at the Rec Complex for details at 785-532-6980.
Prices are not subject to any adjustment due to any type of facility closings.
No refund or time extension will be given when you do not use facilities.
Daily use pass
Faculty, staff, and alumni association members may purchase a daily use pass at guest fee prices by presenting either their faculty/staff ID or their current alumni association card plus photo ID at the Recreation Complex or pools. Family members also pay the guest rate.
Daily pass users can host up to three guests at the daily guest fee rate. Those individuals and conference participants who possess a housing guest access card issued by Housing & Dining Services may gain admittance to either the Recreation Complex or the pools by showing that card and paying the daily guest fee as described above. Note: The guest pass fee will not be credited toward membership purchase/renewal and will not be refunded.
Guest passes
Guest passes can be purchased at the service area of the Recreation Complex for $5 per/person/day or at the pools during Recreational Services swim time for $3/person/day. Guest pass fees include sales tax.
Guest passes for non-dependent children
Guests under the age of five years will be allowed to enter free of charge. Guests aged five through 13 years will be charged a guest fee of $3 at the Rec Complex or $1.50 at the pools. Guests 14 years or older will be charged the regular guest fee of $5 at the Recreation Complex or $3 at the pools.
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.
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 for him or herself. 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 14-23 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.
Entitlements
Purchase of a facility use membership entitles use of that facility's Recreational Services-sponsored fitness programs, as well as equipment checkout. The purchase of any facility membership entitles user to the use of outdoor tennis and handball/racquetball courts, equipment checkout/rental, and outdoor equipment rental at the Outdoor Rental Center.
Refunds
Full refund will be granted if made within five business days of purchase. No refund will be given for months when any part of that month has been used and no refund will be made for any amount under $15. Prices are not subject to any adjustment due to any type of facility closings. No refund or time extension will be given when you do not use facilities.

Membership renewals can be made by email or by phone by providing a debit or credit card number and expiration date if your picture is on file and a new key tag is not needed. With parental consent, dependents can renew family memberships; however, the initial transaction must be completed by a parent.
