Saint Louis University students are automatic members of Simon Recreation Center and have access to all campus recreation facilities. Alumni, faculty and staff may purchase a daily-use pass or a membership to use the Simon Recreation Center. Memberships are not available to the general public.
Membership Identification
Your SLU identification card is required to access the facilities. If you do not have your card, the facilities may be accessed with any photo ID and your member number. Remember that only you may use your identification card — you cannot loan your card to someone else. Cards should be validated for the current membership period or current semester. Anyone not following University identification policies will have their membership privileges suspended or terminated.

Guest Policy
All Simon Recreation Center guests must have a SLU-affiliated sponsor. Members may sponsor two guests per visit, and the sponsor is responsible for their guest and must remain with them at all times. The guest must be registered with the facility and present a photo ID to enter the facility.
The Department of Campus Recreation and Wellness will grant short-term passes on a case-by-case basis to on-campus conference attendees, persons in SLU housing and others. Contact Samantha McLeod, coordinator of member services, at samantha.mcleod@slu.edu or 314-977-3973.
Membership Cancellation Policy
There are no refunds or transfers for all membership types and no early cancellations for non-payroll deduction memberships. Memberships may be subject to cancellation by the Department of Campus Recreation and Wellness for violation of policies and regulations. Exceptions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis without any guarantees.
All issues concerning memberships should be put in writing to Samantha McLeod, coordinator of member services, at samantha.mcleod@slu.edu.
