Request the Activity and Service Fee
Thank you for your interest in the Student Activity, Services, Building, and Recreation Fee.
If you have not been assessed this fee and would like to have it added to your account, please read the information below.
The activity, services, building, and recreation fee is a mandatory fee that supports a variety of activities and services for all students. Students are allowed Recreation and Services facility and programs access through this fee, but the fee is not based on whether or not a student uses an individual activity or service. This fee provides several benefits, such as student admission rates to concerts and athletic events and unlimited use of CyRide, the Ames bus system. In addition, the fee provides support for campus recreation facilities, the Memorial Union, and campus organizations and services as allocated by the Government of the Student Body.
