Department of Campus Recreation and Wellness Guidelines
The following is a list of general rules and regulations for the use of the Recreation and Wellness Center (RWC). These
policies have been designed to ensure the safety of all Recreation and Wellness Center patrons and guests as well as
maintain the facility and foster a welcoming environment. Those utilizing Campus Recreation and Wellness programs,
services and facilities are held accountable to the Student Code of Conduct, including complying with reasonable
directions of university officials and departmental staff performing their duties. As a valued member of the university
community, you have the responsibility to abide by the following policies. It is a privilege to utilize and participate in
Campus Recreation and Wellness Center facilities and programs, it is not a right.
Campus Recreation and Wellness administration reserves the right to edit, implement new policies, or change policies
for the purposes of safety and/or to meet standards of industry best practices.
Departmental Facility Operations
Campus Recreation & Wellness first and foremost provides space for students to recreate, work, and grow. Because of
this, we operate differently than a private gym in the following ways:
• All facilities managed by Campus Recreation and Wellness operate based on University of Houston Clear Lake
academic and holiday calendars. Operational hours are established on an annual basis and are posted on our
departmental website and social media platforms.
• We periodically close or alter our hours of operation due to University events, holiday breaks, and necessary
maintenance projects that must be completed outside of the semester terms. These adjusted hours/closures
will be posted as early as possible and will be available online and relayed through email communications to the
UHCL community and RWC members.
• We periodically host tournaments and special events that may impact the availability of certain spaces in our
facilities.
• Most positions are staffed by UHCL students. We provide a safe and positive work environment that prepares
these individuals for life after UHCL. Disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.

foot or if you sprain a part of your foot.

costs for cleaning, resurfacing, or replacing the flooring.
