General Policies

The following general rules apply to all facilities and activities associated with NAIT Athletics & Recreation.

Note: Each facility also has its own specific set of guidelines for use.

NAIT Athletics & Recreation exists to provide services to students, staff/faculty, alumni and community members. All participants must provide valid identification to verify their membership.

Current NAIT students, staff/faculty, retired staff/faculty must present their NAIT ID card as proof of membership. In the event NAIT ID cards are forgotten, applicable daily "Drop-In fees" will apply.

Membership cards are not transferrable and misuse of these cards to gain access is considered fraud. Misused identification cards will be confiscated and membership privileges revoked.

To utilize any facility during building hours, users must exchange valid NAIT ID for a wristband at the Fitness and Weight Centre Kiosk (S006) or the Sports Equipment Centre (E-026). Public users must purchase a daily wristband. This wristband must be worn and visible at all times when utilizing the facilities. Users who lose wristbands will be charged a $2.00 replacement fee.

Classes are open to all Athletics & Recreation members. Space permitting, members of the general public are eligible to register in classes. Community participants will be charged a non-member fee.

Students, staff and alumni must show their current ID at the time of registration or the non-member fee will apply.

Participation in Athletics & Recreation activities is completely voluntary whether participating in or as a spectator at any event or activity. Each individual assumes the risk for any harm or injury sustained. NAIT Athletics & Recreation cannot assume any responsibilities for injuries incurred through participation in Athletics & Recreation facilities or activities. It is strongly advised that participants use caution and be aware of potential health risks associated with exercise. Should an accident, injury or related incident occur, please contact the Athletics & Recreation staff immediately. (Located in E026 or S006)

All participants involved in use of the facilities or structured activities will be expected to sign a waiver prior to any participation.

For the safety and security of our participants, cell phone use is not permitted in change rooms and activity areas.

There are NO refunds for any course/program unless cancelled by Athletics and Recreation. Consideration will be given to those providing a medical certificate or academic certificate indicating timetable changes. All refunds are subject to a 25% administration fee to a maximum of $25. All refund requests must be received within 14 days of date of purchase. A $25 fee will be charged for NSF cheques.
