If I forget my ID can the desk attendant just look me up by typing in my student ID #?
Members are required to bring either their Marshall University/Mountwest ID’s or key tags to swipe in at the front desk. Patrons may forget their ID’s up to 3 times per semester, and once those have been used, the patron will be required to purchase a guest pass. Patrons can also download the Marshall Rec Account App for use when entering the facility as an alternate I.D.
How do I get affiliated?
Potential members that are not affiliated with Marshall University may become affiliated by making a monetary donation to the Big Green Scholarship Foundation or to the Alumni Association. You must have earned at least 1 credit hour at Marshall to join the Alumni Association. The donation form is located at the ProShop for your convenience.
Can I freeze or cancel my membership at any time?
Members are able to freeze their memberships twice per year for up to 3 months each time. The freezes may not happen consecutively, and 30 days’ notice is required.
How do I cancel my membership?
Cancellation forms must be completed and returned at the Pro Shop and submitted at least 30 days in advance. The forms are located on the website under rates & eligibility or located at the Pro Shop.
