The goal of the SUNY Cortland Campus Recreation Department is to provide a variety of recreational opportunities that contribute to the physical, emotional and social health of all members of our University community. We will continuously develop programs and activities for our participants to increase their positive use of leisure time, improve their quality of life and encourage them to commit to a lifetime of fitness and recreation participation.

Assumption of Risk

• Inherent risks are associated with every recreational activity. Authorized Users assume these risks when they agree to participate. All Authorized Users are strongly advised to secure health insurance and visit their physician for a physical examination prior to registration or participation.
• All those who enter must sign a Student Life Center Acknowledgement of Risk, Waiver and Release of Liability Form before using the facility.

Facility Entry & ID Policy

• All Authorized Users must have a current Student Life Center membership in order to enter the facility. Membership may be confirmed/purchased in the Campus Recreation Office, Monday-Friday, Student Life Center, Room 1201, 8:30a.m. – 4:00p.m.

• Access to the Student Life Center is limited to Authorized Users, who are required to provide a student or staff ID or other accepted form of identification.
