Eligibility Criteria
If you fall under one of these criteria you are eligible for a Friends of UC discounted membership. If you are not sure whether you qualify for this discount please contact our Group Fitness & Customer Experience Team Leader.
UC Staff Nomination
UC staff can nominate 1 person (it could be a friend or family member), that can purchase a Friends of UC discounted membership.
UC Sport Club Members
Members of UC Sport Clubs, who are not enrolled at UC. Please contact us to check if your club qualifies. Proof of financial membership to that club will be required.
UC Graduates

Simply come and see our Customer Experience Team at the RecCentre with a photo ID, and let us know what year you graduated. We'll join you up on the spot, and check your graduation status. Should you not be eligible (eg you did not graduate from UC or CCE) you will be given the option to transfer to a community membership (paying the balance) or refund, with a $25 administration fee charged.
