Do I have access to rec facilities?
No. UW–Madison Online students do not automatically get access to campus recreation facilities. Access to gyms, pools and other on-campus rec resources is generally reserved for on-campus students who pay segregated fees, which online students don’t have to pay. If you want to use the recreation facilities, you’ll need to contact RecWell about affiliate or separate membership options.
Revision: UW–Madison Online students do not automatically get access to campus recreation facilities since they do not pay the segregated fees that support those facilities. However, you can contact RecWell about affiliate or separate membership options.
