The need for improved recreational facilities and opportunities for students was identified during discussions among Student Affairs staff and student leaders about the quality of student life at Indiana State. In April 2004, the Student Government Association passed a resolution indicating a need for such facilities and requesting a feasibility study be conducted. The results of the study, conducted by Hastings and Chivetta Architects, were presented in spring of 2005. SGA then conducted a referendum on the issue of implementing a new student fee to help pay for the construction and operation of a new Student Recreation Center. The referendum passed with more than two-thirds of the students who cast votes being in favor of it.

Who pays the fee?

All undergraduate and graduate students who enroll in six or more hours of on-campus courses at any point in a semester must pay the fee.

What courses are considered on-campus?

Currently, courses with section numbers 001-298, 350-397 and 401-499 are defined as on-campus courses.

When did the fee begin?

The fee was implemented Fall 2006.

How much is the fee?

Fall 2007

The Student Recreation Center Fee is assessed when a student enrolls in six or more on-campus credit hours, beginning with the first fee assessment of the respective term. The assessment of the fee is $100 per semester for Fall 2007 and Spring 2008.

Beginning in Summer 2008, all eligible students will be assessed a fee of $40 per session if they are enrolled in six or more on-campus credit hours.

If I drop classes and am no longer taking six or more hours, will the fee be refunded?

The fee is only refunded if the student withdraws from the university. The student will receive a refund consistent with the established university refund schedule.

How do students pay the fee?

The fee will be assessed as part of the regular billing cycle for each semester. Just like other fees, it may be included in the monthly or variable payment plan if a student chooses either of those payment plans.

Will this fee be included in my financial aid budget?

Yes, the fee will be included in the cost of attendance. However the lowest assessment for any classification, which is $60 per semester, will be used in calculating financial aid budgets for all undergraduate students this year. For graduate students, a fee of $25 will be used.

I’m a transfer student. How will my fee be calculated?

For the 2006-07 academic year, the fee is based upon the number of credit hours the student has earned at the point their charges for the coming term are assessed.

Approved transfer hours become earned ISU credit hours after a student initially registers for a term. The fee is based on the student's number of earned ISU credit hours at the time of his/her first fee assessment of the term. If a transfer student processes an initial registration after the first fee assessment of a term, his/her approved transfer hours will not become earned ISU credit hours until after his/her fees have been assessed.

I’m auditing two classes, do I have to pay the fee?

Students enrolled only in courses for non-participatory audit do not have to pay the fee.

I’m a Rose-Hulman or St. Mary of the Woods student taking classes as part of an agreement with ISU. Do I have to pay the fee?

No. Students enrolled in courses through the reciprocity agreements ISU has with St. Mary-of-the-Woods College or Rose-Hulman will not be required to pay the fee.

A Student Government Association committee will oversee all policies and programs of the facility and will decide this issue at a later date.

I will graduate before the Center is completed and will not get to utilize the new center. Do I have to pay the fee?

Yes. The graduated fee schedule for the first year is adjusted on the likelihood that students further along in their coursework will have less opportunity to utilize the new facility. For each year that a student pays the dedicated fee before the opening of the student recreation center, that student will be provided one year of free membership to the Indiana State University Alumni Association and a free one-year alumni membership to the center.

Where will the facility be located?

The new Student Recreation Center will be located in the southwest portion of Lot A located north of the library and east of Lincoln Quad. Plans are being developed to expand parking options elsewhere to replace the space lost to the construction of the center.

How will this new facility impact LeClub?

It is anticipated that the current LeClub facility located in Hulman Memorial Student Union will be moved to the new Student Recreation Center. The satellite operations in Rhoads and Blumberg Halls will continue to operate.

The University Board of Trustees reserves the right to change fees at any time in the future. The right to correct errors is also reserved.
