  STUDENTS

• Every student who takes one credit or more at Portland State University is automatically a member of the Rec Center and has access to the facility and programs offered.

• Your photo on a PSU OneCard is your pass into the Student Rec Center. If you have a PSU OneCard without a photo, simply activate your card online and go to ID services in Neuberger Hall to be photographed. A replacement card with your new photo will then be mailed to you at no charge. For questions about the PSU OneCard, please contact Card Services.

• If you forget your PSU OneCard, you may use a government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license or passport to access the facility.

LOCKER / TOWEL INFO 

DAY-USE LOCKERS

• Day-use lockers for use while in the building are available at no charge. You will need to supply your own lock and remove your belongings when you leave the Rec Center.
• The day-use lockers are small and measure 19.5" H x 11.75" W x 10.5" deep. You may wish to consider renting a locker in Smith Student Union to store larger items.

LONG-TERM LOCKERS (FACULTY LOCKERS VS STUDENT LOCKER)

• A bank of lockers in both the Men’s and Women’s Locker rooms is designated for faculty and staff members.  The rest of the lockers are for student members and persons with disabilities. 
• Faculty/Staff can pay for their lockers for 1, 3, or 12 months at a time. 
• Student Members can pay for their lockers for either 1 or 3 months at a time, in line with the current term. 

IMPOUND POLICY

• It is a patron’s responsibility to renew their locker by the expiration date.  After the expiration date, the locker is subject to impound.  Items impounded from a locker will be held up to 3 weeks.  Any items after this period will be donated.
• Every Wednesday, Member Services makes courtesy calls and sends e-mails to patrons whose lockers will expire within the week of their expiration.  Patrons have until the following Tuesday to renew their locker. These calls and e-mails serve as a reminder, but it is ultimately the member’s responsibility to renew their locker by their expiration date.  If a locker is still not renewed, the locker will be impounded and released.   

TOWEL SERVICE

• You are encouraged to bring your own towel, but towels will be available on a rental basis for a small monthly or day-use fee.
