Intercollegiate Athletics Fee (Undergraduate Students Only)

The Intercollegiate Athletics Fee provides support for Stony Brook University's 20 Division I Intercollegiate Athletic programs. Students assessed this fee can attend all regular season intercollegiate athletic events without charge.

Recreation Center and Fields Fee (Undergraduate Students Only)

The Campus Recreation Center is devoted to the health and wellness of Stony Brook students, faculty and staff and has become the center of activity on campus, averaging more than 2,000 users daily. For the 2013-2014 year, a $2.25 fee increase is proposed to continue funding the daily operation of the center including support for 250+ student employees, and help underwrite the costs of upgrading dedicated field space near South P Lot for student clubs, making additional room in other areas on campus for intramurals and other recreation programs. Ultimately, one turf field and two grass fields will be dedicated for student use and all three will be lit, thereby extending the hours the fields can be used.

The Recreation Center Fee is assessed only to undergraduate students, and is prorated for part time enrollment. Graduate students who would like to utilize the recreation facility may opt in, and will be charged accordingly. Faculty and Staff members may also take advantage of an annual membership option.
