Alumni/Affiliate Memberships

Alumni Membership


To be considered a UNCG Alumni, you must have graduated from the University with a degree. Alumni will have two categories: Recent Alumni and Alumni. As of August 2016, if you have graduated between May 2012 and May 2017, you will be able to join as a Recent Alumni for a 5 year period from the date that you join as long as you join by May 15, 2019. If you graduate after May 2017, you will able to join as a Recent Alumni for a 3 year period. If you graduated prior to May 2012, you would be consider an Alumni Member and be charged at the Alumni Member rate.

All Alumni members are eligible to sponsor one additional person for membership to the Kaplan Center. The additional member must be at least 18 years of age and show a government issued ID with proof of age at the time of membership application. To join the Kaplan Center, you will need to come to the Recreation & Wellness Administrative Suite to complete the membership application, and pay the membership fee. The sponsoring member will need to accompany the additional person to the Administrative Suite receptionist desk in order to apply for the membership.  Additional members are not eligible to sponsor someone else for a membership.

For Alumni members, we will issue you a Kaplan Center ID Card that must be presented each and every time you enter the facility. An Alumni Membership allows you access to most of the programs available within the Department of Recreation and Wellness. However, Alumni members are not allowed to participate on an Intramural or Club Sports team or as an individual participant.

All Alumni and Recent Alumni have 2 options for membership; to join for 1 year or to join by semester. The membership year is from Aug to Aug; specific dates vary with the calendar. The Alumni and Recent Alumni must have a membership in order to sponsor an additional member.  The Additional Member can only have a membership for the same time period as the sponsoring member.  Additional members are not eligible to sponsor someone else for a membership.
