UW-Madison regular and affiliate faculty and staff who have paid their Recreation Membership Fee and who also possess a valid UW-Madison ID card (Wiscard) may access all four of the Recreational facilities. *Printable Faculty/Staff Membership Information Sheet (PDF)*

UW-Madison faculty/staff may authorize payroll deduction for payment of their Annual or Academic Year Membership fee. The opportunity to sign up for payroll deduction for 2009-10 begins Monday, July 27 for renewals or Monday, August 17, 2009 for new members and ends Sunday, October 18, 2009. Payroll deduction may not be used for Fall Semester, Spring Semester, or Summer Memberships.

Membership payments made through payroll deduction are split in half. For Classified staff, the first half will come from the Oct B check, the second half from the Nov B check. For Unclassified staff, the first half will be deducted from the October check, the second half from the November check. If an employee does not earn enough to cover the full payment with two checks, another deduction will be taken from either the next B check for classified or the next month's check for unclassified. Payroll Deduction forms can be found at any of our facilities.

Please note this is not a pre-tax payroll deduction.

Locker and towel sales, as well as Group Fitness stickers, may also be authorized for payroll deduction with the renewal or sale of a membership. Ask the staff for more details as the locker and Group Fitness sticker must follow the terms of your membership.

Payroll deduction is NOT available for UW-Hospital, UW Foundation, State Historical Society employees, Guest Students, or any spouse/domestic partners.

Membership refunds will not be given if employment with UW-Madison is terminated. Refunds will only be given for a period of seven (7) days from the date of purchase or seven (7) days from which your membership becomes active, and refunds will be no greater than 50% of the membership fee that was paid. No refunds will be given for locker rentals.

Continued employment is required to use any recreation facility once fees have been paid. If your employment is terminated, you lose access and all fees are forfeited. DO NOT purchase an Annual or Summer membership if you only have an Academic Year or Semester appointment. Refunds will not be given (see below for more info on refunds). Limited Term Employees (LTE's) who have not worked (i.e. no hours entered into the payroll system) in the past 30 days will be dropped from the system.

If you change your ID card number from a Social Security number to a 900 number you must contact the facility where you paid your membership fee so we can update our records. [SERF 262-4976; NAT 262-8809; SHELL 263-7650; NIELSEN 262-0413]. Please be prepared to provide your old ID number as well as your new ID number.
