There is still time for your student to register for summer courses should he or she be interested. They are a great way to work ahead on specific programs! Registration is still open until May 9, the first day of Term I.

Students not taking summer classes are eligible to purchase a $49 Summer Validation to the Student Recreation Center. Your student must have been enrolled in spring 2016 or have proof of  registration for fall 2016 in order to be eligible. By purchasing the validation, your students will have access to Intramural programs and recreational facilities until classes begin in August. For more information, have your student call the Intramural Sports Office (502) 852-6707.

Former students of the University of Louisville are eligible to join a membership program that provides access to the new Student Recreation Center. The University considers anyone who has attended classes at the university to be eligible for alumni status, so a degree is not required for this membership. Memberships are $30 per month and are available in blocks of 3, 6, 9 or 12 month periods of time.
