Get Membership

NIU RecCard

You will need an NIU RecCard to access any of the Rec facilities. If you don't currently have an NIU RecCard, once you purchase your NIU Recreation membership, bring your receipt to the NIU OneCard office within three business days to purchase a new card. A new card costs $10 and can be purchased with card. Bring a valid photo ID. This card is reusable for any renewed memberships. We now have a free option through DSE where you will download the app, and it will give you unique QR code to scan in from your phone each time. If you would like this option, stop at our front desk located inside the Recreation Center.

Recreation Parking Permits

Individuals who have purchased a membership through the NIU Recreation qualify for a Recreation parking permit. These permits are good for either 6 months or a full year, but are restricted to Recreation facility lots on campus.
