Types of Memberships

We offer two types of memberships that grant you different levels of facility access.

  • Full Memberships—You can use all our recreational facilities.
  • Auxiliary Memberships—You can use the recreation facilities that existed before the construction of the Student Recreation and Wellness Center. We refer to these as our auxiliary facilities.

Note to Parents and Guardians

Our office would like to make all parents and guardians aware that Burris and Indiana Academy students using our facilities are participating in an adult environment. The vast majority of our users are 18-25 years old. We also want you to be aware that our entrances, lounge spaces, hallways, restrooms, and locker rooms are open to the general public. Access for valid students, employees, and affiliates is managed in the activity spaces (gymnasium, fitness centers, pools, etc.) only.

Spouses and dependents of all of our eligible members are welcome to register for their own individual memberships. We also provide family membership packages for your convenience as well.

A dependent is defined as a legal dependent 25 years old or younger for the purposes of our membership options. Once a dependent is older than 25 years old, they are no longer eligible for a dependent membership.
