Students
Add wellbeing to your curriculum.
Before your first visit
Incoming Fall 2025 students may begin utilizing FitRec after July 1 AND once they have been issued their Terrier Card (BUID). There will be a grace period between August 23 and September 15 for certain types of full-time students (such as off-campus Graduate Students) who may be delayed in being issued their BUID. Between August 23 and September 15, please bring a photo ID if you have not yet been issued your student ID. Students need to sign their online waiver in order to activate their BUID for access prior to their first visit. Visit our Access FAQ page for more information on student access.
FitRec Membership
As a full-time student at Boston University, you are automatically granted access to the Fitness and Recreation Center, one of the country’s top university fitness centers. During your time at Boston University you have access to our phenomenal facilities, the chance to participate with dozens of Club Sports and Intramural Teams and a discounted rate for our wide variety of recreation classes and access to physical education classes for college credit.
