Access and Conduct

Facility Access

  • Every member must scan a valid URI ID Card, Campus Recreation Membership Card, or access the facility using the the “Scan ID” feature on the Fusion Go app.
  • Members who forget their URI ID Card or Campus Recreation Membership Card, may utilize another valid form of physical photo ID or access the facility using the “Scan ID” feature on the Fusion Go app.
    • A valid form of physical photo ID is an ID that allows staff to validate the person’s Name, Age, and Photo (i.e. Driver’s License, Real ID, Passport, etc.).
    • All members with photos in Fusion are allowed to “forget” all forms of their ID (physical or digital) 3x a semester. This only applies to members who have photos within Fusion and active memberships.
  • Unauthorized entry, lending or using another individual’s ID is prohibited and may result in immediate suspension of membership privileges for all Campus Recreation facilities and programs. In cases of sharing ID cards, both the ID owner, and the person attempting to use the ID, will remain suspended until a meeting is held with the Coordinator, Facilities & Operations and/or their designee. 
  • The use of emergency doors and unauthorized exits is prohibited during standard facility operation hours. The propping, blocking, or jamming of any door, window, hallway, or access point is prohibited.
  • Students, Faculty, and Staff who have lost or damaged their card beyond functionality have the option of going to the Campus ID & Dining Office for a replacement card. Community members may purchase a replacement ID card by visiting the Customer Service Center at Mackal or the front desk at Fascitelli.
  • Personal Care Assistants (PCA) are eligible to access all recreation spaces in order to aid an individual with needs and will be required to sign a Campus Recreation Waiver and have their information inputted into our member management software.
