Per rule, all members and facility users must be 18 years of age or older during the current academic year. During summer session only (as defined by the UW-Whitewater academic calendar), members/guests must be 15 years of age or older. Persons 15-17 years of age must have a legal guardian sign and date the membership contract at point of sale (online option not available).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Below Age 15&lt;/strong&gt; - not permitted to use facilities at any time&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Age 15&lt;/strong&gt; - must have parent/legal guardian present in the same room at time of use - summer session only&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Age 16&lt;/strong&gt; - parent/legal guardian does not need to be present at time of use - summer session only&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Age 17&lt;/strong&gt; - parent/legal guardian does not need to be present at time of use - summer session only&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Age 18&lt;/strong&gt; - no restriction; member is a legal adult&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Individuals falsifying age will find membership privileges revoked and/or suspended, with refund status reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This rule also applies with parents/guardians who wish to recreate or use facilities with their children and/or supervise their children while using facilities. Infants and young children in carriers and strollers are prohibited. Rec Sports staff members reserve the right to refuse to process memberships/guest passes in these situations and are trained to do so. Membership/guest pass requests may be denied if applicant cannot produce identification that verifies legal age.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If a current UW-Whitewater student is under the age of 18, please contact the Office of Recreation Sports and Facilities for more information.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;UW-Whitewater is a fitness-by-choice institution, therefore the option to utilize fitness facilities belongs to each individual student. Membership prices are listed on the &lt;a href="/rec-sports/memberships"&gt;Memberships website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All memberships are non-transferable and non-refundable. If you believe an extenuating circumstance to the refund policy applies to you, contact The Office of Recreation Sports &amp;amp; Facilities at 262-472-1145. Refund decisions are rendered at the discretion of Rec Sports staff and all decisions are final.&lt;/p&gt;</AccordionContent>
