The Department of Recreational Sports offers members of The Ohio State University community an extraordinary experience to live active and meaningful lives while on-campus.
Programs and services range from group fitness, aquatics, adventure trips, sport clubs, disc golf and many other activities. Recreational Sports is enhanced by its award winning indoor and outdoor facilities, including five indoor locations and more than 90 acres of outdoor space.
All students (except those who are regular employees of the university) taking 4 or more credit hours on the Columbus campus are assessed a “Recreational Fee”, which provides support for all campus recreational sports facilities, programs and services. Students who are assessed the fee are automatic members of the recreational sports facilities and eligible for all member benefits. For more information go to recsports.osu.edu. For current fee rates, please go to Fee Tables. Exception applies to Post-Candidacy Doctoral students who are considered at a full-time status at 3 credit hours. Post-Candidacy Doctoral students will be assessed this fee beginning at that level of enrollment.
