• Annual memberships can be paid via the above listed options as well as through monthly credit card billing or payroll deduction for permanent faculty/staff who are paid over 12 months.

Members can request a freeze on their membership. Freeze requests can be completed using the form link below.

• Memberships can be frozen because of extended travel or medical conditions.
• Written documentation is required.
• A minimum of 30 days notice is required.
• Membership freezes may be for 1 - 6 months. 
• Pending approval, your membership length will be extended if necessary.

Parking Permits: Parking permits must be surrendered at the time of the Freeze. Parking permits cannot be extended.  

Locker Charges : Monthly auto-debit and payroll deduction locker charges are required to be paid during any membership freeze period if you wish to retain your locker.  If you do not want to pay your monthly charge during your freeze period, your locker rental will be canceled.

Monthly Auto-Debit Pending/Temporary Charge: During your freeze period for auto-debit memberships, a temporary/pending charge will be placed on your credit card that will be removed prior to our credit card billing settlement due to the way our software processes credit card payments.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

• Paid-in-full memberships are non-refundable and non-transferable.
• Auto-debit and payroll deduction memberships, which continue indefinitely, may be cancelled after one year with no penalties. Please complete the Membership Change Request Form (link below) and provide at least 30 days notice.
• When purchasing an auto-debit or payroll deduction membership, you are committing to a one-year contract. This contract entitles you to a discounted membership rate every month throughout the year. By breaking your contract, you are also waiving your right to the discounted rate. Penalties apply when an auto-debit or payroll deduction membership is cancelled before one year of membership. If you are considering cancelling your auto-debit or payroll deduction membership before the minimum one-year agreement, please use the following formula to evaluate the actual cost of your membership:
  • Monthly rate of your category (not the auto-debit or payroll deduction rate) x Number of active months + Monthly parking pass rate x Number of active months + $20 Processing fee - Amount you have already paid this year = Remaining balance (compare this to the cost of remaining active through the contract date.)
