Texas A&M University- Kingsville Department of Recreational Sports has developed guidelines in an effort to create a safe, fun and welcoming environment for all participants. Campus Recreation policies are designed for the protection of members, employees, and facilities.

 

• All currently enrolled TAMUK students must present their Javelina Express Card (Student ID) to enter the Student Recreation Center. Non-student members shall present either a Javelina Card (Staff or Faculty ID), or a valid Membership Card and a photo ID.  All patrons shall have their ID on their person at all times while using the facility and present to Recreational Sports staff when asked.
• Texas A&M- Kingsville Faculty and Staff, non-member students, Alumni, as well as community members may use the Rec Center on a drop-in basis by purchasing a daily pass.  Drop-in user shall present a Javelina Card, or State identification card. For the spousal rate, primary membership is required and must be purchased first. If the affiliated patron is not going to purchase a primary membership, then the spouse may purchase a community membership (not the spousal rate). In either case, the patrons must present a marriage license/certificate, joint tax return(s), proof of joint bank account or a lease with the same residence.
• To promote healthful interaction, full fee-paying students, members with a current membership, and qualified drop-in users may invite up to three guests per day. Guests must purchase a guest pass and be accompanied by their sponsors when they enter the facility.  Guests must present a photo ID and sign waiver upon purchase of a daily pass. Sponsors are responsible for guests’ behaviors as well as loss/damage to the Student Recreation Center equipment and/or facilities.
