Student Recreation Center: Frequently Asked Questions

At this time, the date for re-opening the Student Recreation Center facility on campus is still undetermined, even with some other fitness centers having already opened in LA County. While we are working to create a plan to safely re-open, as part of the California State University system we are required to wait for state and local government officials to give us their approval — along with CSUN officials permitting us to return to campus. In addition, we have to comply with all Center for Disease Control regulations.

Please know that we are now offering our members virtual access to a wide range of fun and challenging fitness programs on demand — every day of the week. We encourage you to join us to participate online as frequently as you can. Rest assured, we are also doing everything we can to re-open as soon as possible while maintaining the safety and wellbeing of our members. We look forward to welcoming you back to the SRC! If you have any questions or suggestions for additional virtual programming, we'd love to hear from you!

If I am a CSUN student member of the Student Recreation Center, will I receive a refund?

Consistent with California Education Code (Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations), since CSUN is providing students full academic credit for courses taken and delivered by alternative means, no portion of mandatory fees will be reduced. Mandatory fees are listed on the CSUN Student Finance website and include, but are not limited to:

Tuition Fees
Associated Students Fee
Student Union Fee
Instructionally-Related Activities Fee
Health Facilities Fee
Health Services Fee
Campus Quality Fee

For clarity, please note mandatory campus fees are not "user" fees per se—they cover a wide range of costs the university continues to incur in order to maintain and operate facilities and provide necessary services. As instruction continues to be provided by alternate means, including through virtual technologies in Fall 2020, current CSU Policy requires students to pay their tuition and mandatory campus fees in order to enroll and remain enrolled and receive academic credit for courses.

Please know that CSUN is committed to providing students their educational experience while also preserving their health and welfare as well as that of their families and the entire CSUN community. Our goal is to get students back on campus as soon as it is safe to do so, pursuant to Federal, State and Local Public Health guidance.

In the meantime, please visit our website to see all the virtual opportunities we are currently offering. We have much more in the works too so stay tuned for that! If you have any questions or suggestions for additional programming please contact us at src@csun.edu, we'd love to hear from you!
