Members please note: Many programs have specific registration policies and procedures. This information is an overview of general guidelines for the department. Please visit our Web site for complete policy information for each of our programs.

How to Register
The Department of Recreational Services accepts program registration in person by phone and via our Web site for most programs. Phone and Web registrations must be paid for with a credit card. Be sure to call the SRWC at 330-672-4732 to verify that space is still available for the program you have chosen.
  • Intramurals and community leagues require in-person registration. Please stop in at the reception desk of the SRWC for the appropriate registration form.
  • You may only register yourself and your legal dependents for programs.
  • Members who qualify for any discounted rate must present proper ID to receive the discount.
  • Check out our online registration system. It allows you to register for many of our programs from the comfort of your home, residence hall, computer lab or any other place you like to use your computer. To access this system, you need to get a user ID and password from the Pro Shop office. You may call or stop by to get this information.


Non-members may register for most of the programs offered in this schedule. After registering, non-members will receive a receipt that will be valid for entry to the building and to the specific activity area for the program. A photo ID must be presented at the welcome desk along with the receipt to gain entry to the building. The receipt is valid only for the dates and times listed on the pass. For phone registrations, receipts will be available at the welcome desk on the first day of class.

Non-members who register for a community league that takes place indoors will receive a punch pass for entry to the SRWC.


Waiting lists are created for all programs that are full. All participants will be contacted prior to the start of program for enrollment verification. No payment is needed to be placed on the waiting list. If space opens up for the class, participants will be contacted in the order in which they were placed on the waiting list.


All participants are encouraged to consult with a physician before beginning any new exercise program. A physician’s clearance may be required before allowing registration for some programs.


Most programs are open to everyone, unless otherwise noted (exceptions are intramurals and sport clubs). SRWC members and Kent State students receive discounted rates on all programs and activities.

Please note: To receive the discounted member rate for a program, you must be a member for the duration of the program. If your facility membership expires midway through a program, you will have the option of renewing your membership or paying the additional non-member fee.

  • A photo ID is required when registering for a program and all participants with passes (where applicable) must present photo ID and pass when entering each class session. Sharing of passes is not allowed.
  • In order to participate in advanced level classes, you must have taken the required prerequisites.
  • Participants cannot make up missed classes by attending other classes. Transfers to other classes are not permitted.
  • Some programs (i.e. Adventure Trips and Intramurals) have pre-program meetings (pre-trip and captain’s meetings) that are required to be eligible for the activity.
  • Payment and participation in a certification course does not guarantee certification. All skills must be successfully completed in order to gain certification.
  • Participants should meet at the designated area to begin class. Classes will start promptly at the scheduled time. Participants enrolled in First Aid/CPR/AED classes or group fitness classes who are more than 10 minutes late will not be permitted to enter the class.
  • Entry to group fitness classes (with a valid pass) is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Maximum enrollment for each class is 60 participants. Numbered passes will be given to participants as classes near maximum capacity.


We reserve the right to cancel programs due to insufficient enrollment. If a program is cancelled by the department for any reason, all participants will receive a full refund. If a class is cancelled, all participants will be contacted 24 hours prior to the scheduled start of class. Program dates, times, locations and instructors are subject to change.

Some programs will operate on abbreviated schedules during university break periods and holidays. Schedule changes will be posted in the activity area and on our Web site. Intramurals are cancelled anytime the Kent Campus cancels classes for that day or evening. For weather-related cancellations when class is in session, the decision is made, when possible, by 4 p.m. on the day of the program. Please call to find out if a game is cancelled. Most other activities and events will take place at the center as scheduled even when school is closed.
By their nature activities that take place in outdoor settings tend to be affected by weather. In order to ensure safety and maximize the participant experience, we reserve the right to utilize comparable, alternative locations and, if necessary, to adjust start and end times. These changes, if any, will be covered in the mandatory pre-trip meetings.

  • Full refunds are given for any program cancelled by the Department of Recreational Services.
  • Please allow two weeks for processing refunds.
  • No refunds are given for cancellation by participants.
  • No refunds are given for unlimited or punch passes.
  • Massage appointments must be cancelled four hours prior to appointment time to avoid full charge for the appointment.
  • All no-show appointments (for massage, fitness assessments, etc) will be billed the full amount of the visit.


Camera phones are not permitted for use during programs. In addition, we ask that all cellular phones be turned off during programs.


Photographs are occasionally taken of program and class participants by Recreational Services staff members. If you prefer not to be photographed, please notify the photographer.
