Program Fee

The Student Recreation Center (SRC) opened in August of 1990. While students voted via a student referendum in 1985 to fund construction of the facility by paying a $25.00 per term fee, no provision was made to fund the recreational programs that operate in the facility.

In March of 2002, the students of the University of Arizona voted to assess themselves a $3.00 (per term) Program Fee that is refundable and continuous with a CPI (Consumer Price Index- increases annually) to assist with the funding of Campus Recreation programs. The University began collecting a $3.00 Program Fee in August 2002.

The per term, refundable program fee will support recreational programs, campus recreation student wage increases, sport clubs and facility needs of the Department of Campus Recreation.
