Types of Memberships
UNT Students
Currently enrolled UNT students who have paid the Rec Fee are automatic members of the Pohl Recreation Center. A current UNT ID card is required for entrance to the Rec Center. Students who received a new ID card since August of 2004, must use the new ID card. The old ID card will no longer allow access to the Rec Center.
Students who are only enrolled in online classes, classes held off-campus, study abroad classes or other classes that do not meet on a regular basis on the UNT Denton campus do not pay the Rec Fee and therefore, do not have access to the Rec Center. These students can pay the Rec Fee directly to the Rec Center in the form of a continuing student membership (for the same fee that students pay). Proof of enrollment is required at the time of purchase and must be purchased from 8am-5pm Monday through Friday.
Students who drop all of their classes or are no longer considered a student at UNT will be inactive in the Rec Center system and will not have access to the Rec Center.
Faculty/Staff Memberships
UNT faculty and staff are eligible to purchase a membership to the Pohl Recreation Center. When joining the Rec Center, faculty and staff are encouraged to join the Faculty/Staff Fitness Program by completing a registration form. As a member of the Faculty/Staff Fitness program, full-time staff members are eligible for 20 minutes of administrative leave for one hour of daily exercise as approved by their supervisor (policy 1.4.16).
Spouse Memberships
Spouses of UNT students and UNT faculty, staff and retirees are eligible to purchase memberships at the same rate as their spouse. Student spouses can only purchase memberships one semester at a time. UNT faculty and staff do not have to be members of the Rec Center for their spouse to purchase a membership, but the UNT faculty or staff member must accompany their spouse at the time of purchase.
Sponsored Adult Memberships
Current and retired faculty and staff employees who are members of the Pohl Recreation Center and students with an active rec center membership may sponsor one individual for membership. Individuals must be over 18 years of age at the time of membership, live full-time in the same residence as the sponsoring member during the term of the membership, and show written proof of eligibility and residence. Proof of eligibility and residence includes a current driver’s license showing age and residence, a birth certificate, a utility bill or bank account jointly reflecting the name of the member and person being sponsored, or marriage license. The sponsoring member must appear in person to verify his or her agreement to sponsor the individual and must sign the membership agreement. Individuals who misrepresent their eligibility for membership or who sponsor an individual who is not eligible for membership will have their membership permanently revoked and be subject to disciplinary action. No refund will be given when a membership is revoked.
Retiree Memberships
Faculty and staff who have retired from UNT and have a valid UNT Retiree card are eligible to purchase a membership at the Rec Center. Retirees are charged a reduced rate.

Dependents of UNT students, faculty, staff and retirees ages 16-24 may also purchase memberships. Parents of dependents ages 16-17 must also be a member of the Rec Center as children ages 17 and under require the supervision of a Rec Center member.
