<p>During orientation, i noticed that the gym on campus was located in the ARC. Do we have to pay for membership, or is that available to us for free as UCD students? It would be great to be able to remove the monthly payment of a gym membership off my long list of bills…</p>
<p>The ARC is free to students.</p>
<p>as well as Hickey Gym so you can go swimming and the Rec Pool during the warmer months. However, during the summer, if you are not currently enrolled in summer session--you do not have access to the arc until fall (or you can pay a small fee)</p>
<p>that's awesome...so i'll still be able to maintain my CC routine of releasing all my stress accumulated from school work at the gym, only now it'll be free!</p>
<p>yup. but the gym membership is paid for in the mandatory student fees you pay for school (some of it goes to unitrans, some to the MU, some to the arc and etc) </p>
<p>and if you're covered by your parents insurance...i suggest signing up for the SHIP waiver..that way you're not paying a few extra hundred dollars for health insurance that you already have. and even if you have your own health insurance..you still can use the cowell student health center.</p>
<p>thanks cgui, just filled out the SHIP waiver!</p>
