can I do with my PolyCard?

Rec
Center Access
A new door access system has been installed at the Rec Center to ensure that
only currently enrolled students and other Rec Center members are able to gain
access to the facility. Only users with a properly activated PolyCard or membership
card will be admitted into the Rec Center.
Currently enrolled students
still have free, unlimited access to the Rec Center with their PolyCard. Cal Poly
Faculty, Staff, Extended Education students, and Alumni can buy a membership to
the Rec Center and then use their ID Cards to access the Rec Center.
To get your card activated, visit Customer Service. It is free and only takes
a few seconds.
