It's
good to know that FIU alumni want to exercise the mind and body; two of the most
common questions of the alumni office deal with access to the University's libraries
and recreation centers.
As FIU reaches out to bring its graduates back to campus and alumni look for
practical resources available to them, the libraries and campus recreation programs
on both campuses are here to serve you. Although certain privileges are extended
only to members of the Alumni Association, both of these services are available
to all alumni.
University
Libraries
You are eligible to use the Green Library at UP and the Biscayne Bay library on
that campus for leisure, study or research free of charge provided you have an
activated FIU ID or Alumni Library Card. This access affords you all rights to
check out general collection books, audiovisual materials and gives you access
to online resources such as journal articles, holding catalogs and the "Digital
Library" collection via the library website.
To activate your library privileges, you must visit the circulation desk on
either campus. If you still have your student ID, the staff will activate that
and grant you privileges or if not, they can provide you with an alumni library
card. There is no charge. For more information visit www.fiu.edu/~library or call
305-348-2470.
Campus
Recreation
On either campus you may have access to the Student Fitness Centers (SFC), basketball,
racquetball and tennis courts, pools and participate in all intramural sports
by paying a membership fee. At UP, the Fitness Center is adjacent to the Golden
Panther Arena and at BBC it is on the third floor of the Wolfe Center.
On the UP campus, the fee is $55 per semester or $160 for the year. Members
of the Alumni Association are eligible for a discount and pay $50 per semester
or $140 annually. On the Biscayne Bay Campus, the fee is $40 per semester
or you may pay for a $3 daily pass. At both locations, special classes, excursions
and certain leagues require an additional nominal fee.
If you still have your student ID, you can pay your fees and get your card
activated at either student fitness facility. If not, you will need to pay your
fees and then proceed to purchase a Campus Recreation Pass at the Student ID Office
in the Graham Center or Wolfe Center for $5. For more information visit www.fiu.edu/~camprec
or call UP at 305-348-2575 or the BBC at 305-919-5678.
Parking
You will
need to pay for parking on either campus. Metered parking is available adjacent
to both the SFC at University Park and the Wolfe Center at Biscayne Bay Campus.
Alternatively, you may choose to purchase an alumni parking decal through Parking
& Traffic for $87 for the year.
