NIU OneCard

You need an NIU OneCard to get into any of the Recreation Facilities. If you don't have a usable NIU OneCard, once you purchase your Recreation membership, just 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 a card. Bring a valid photo ID. We now have a free option through DSE where you will download the app, and it will give you a unique QR code to scan from your phone each time. If you would like this option, stop at our front desk located inside the Recreation Center.
