Guest Guidelines:
Guest passes are available for members who wish to sponsor a non-member guest into the facility at a rate of $7/day per guest. UAB students and CRCT members must adhere to the following guidelines when purchasing CRCT guest passes:

• Students and members can purchase guest passes for those 18 years and older who wish to participate in recreational activities, they must have a member with them at all times. Those under 18 are only permitted during the dependant hours, and direct parental/legal guardian relationship must exist.
• Guest passes are for facility access and any regularly scheduled, no-cost programming taking place in the CRCT. Guest will not have the ability to check out equipment through the equipment room. The guest’s sponsor will be responsible for checking out any equipment and be held responsible for damages to equipment and/or facility caused by his/her guest(s).
• Sponsors will be limited to three guests per day. This can occur all at once, or in any combination totaling three guests throughout the day.
• Guests are required to show a driver’s license or state-issued photo ID when entering the facility. Guests must remain with their sponsors throughout the entire visit, and sponsors are responsible for the actions of their guests. Both guests and sponsors may be removed and/or have privileges removed.

Locker Information:
Both full and half lockers are available for rent on a yearly basis for members of the CRCT. A valid student, faculty/staff, alumni or household membership to the CRCT is required for locker rental. A maximum of two lockers per agreement (one for primary and one for secondary member) is permitted. Locker services must be paid in full. Lockers can not be payroll deducted. Lockers are non-refundable.

All lockers are the property of the Office of Campus Recreation. Lockers are to be used for legitimate recreational purposes only. Certain occasions require our staff to check lockers for unreturned equipment and/or known safety/security reasons. On these occasions, users will be notified. Lockers will be cleared out annually in May; notifications and signage will be placed in the facility. Lockers not cleared will have contents removed and articles kept for 30 days at the Equipment Issue Desk, after which they will be discarded or given to charity.

Locker restrictions:

• All lockers will have an expiration date of April 30.
• Those members renewing/purchasing lockers before October will be charged the full annual rates: $40/full and $30/half.
• Those members renewing/purchasing lockers after October will be charged half the annual rates: $20/full and $15/half.

Towel Service Information:
The CRCT offers towel service at the Equipment Issue Desk.  Large white towels with “UAB Campus Recreation” stenciled onto them are available for a one-time fee of $10.00.  Patrons can exchange their purchased towel daily for a freshly laundered towel at no charge.  Workout towels are also available for a one-time fee of $5.00.  These white, hand-towels are also stenciled with “UAB Campus Recreation” and may be exchanged daily for a freshly laundered towel at no charge. 

Instead of trading a towel for a towel, patrons may opt to utilize the towel card.  Similar to exchanging a towel, patrons have a card to exchange rather than a towel.  This option is perfect for patrons who do not have a locker. Cards are filed while the towel is in use and when the towel is return, you pick up your card.
