Membership Services

If you are a currently enrolled UHCL student, including at UHCL at Pearland, UHCL at Texas Medical Center, or online, you are already a member of the Recreation and Wellness Center. Log in to rwconnect with your UHCL credentials or visit the Rec Center for details.

As part of your fees, you have already paid the dedicated student recreation fee. The fee includes access to the Recreation and Wellness Center, all Group Fitness Classes, all Intramural Sports, and special events.  

Your dedicated fee does not include individual services such as personal training, nutrition consultations, or long-term locker rental. Those services must be purchased for a separate fee either online in rwconnect or in-person.

If you are not currently enrolled in classes, you do not have an active membership to the Recreation and Wellness Center. A continuing student is one who was enrolled in the previous semester and is scheduled to be enrolled the following semester. This includes students who are skipping a semester or skipping the summer sessions with plans to return in the next semester
