ODU students receive automatic membership to the Student Recreation Center during the current semester in which they are paying the activity fee.
If you’re currently enrolled as an ODU student, you have access to the Student Recreation & Well-Being Center, University Village Fitness Center, and Waitzer Hall Wellness Center. For ODU main campus students, you will need special permissions to access the Waitzer Hall Wellness Center. To request those permissions, please complete this form. Students in the Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University do not need to do anything to gain access to Waitzer Hall.
Summer Access
Students have summer access if they are enrolled in ODU summer courses, or if they were enrolled in the most recent spring semester and are already registered for the upcoming fall semester. Otherwise, a Student Plus 1 membership must be purchased to have access over the summer.
Perks
Monarch students also enjoy exclusive programs and benefits from ODU Recreation & Wellness as part of their student membership, such as free appointments with the campus dietitian. See all the perks of being a member, plus available optional paid upgrades (such as locker rentals, etc.) here!
