General guest guidelines and policies

All currently enrolled UU students and CRS members must present their valid ID to enter ESLC. We do this to keep you and your identity safe. Double check to make sure you have your ID before you leave and put it back in the same place every time so you never have to miss a workout.

The UCard holder is responsible to maintain adequate security related to use of services associated with the UCard. The rights and privileges associated with the UCard are not transferable. IDs used to gain illegal entrance into CRS facilities or programs will be considered misconduct and theft of services. Misuse of UCard privileges will result in:

First Offense: ID will be confiscated and a $15 fine assessed. The ID will be returned when fine is paid.
