Active Aggies is a program that gives opportunities for students to engage in formal programming through a fee waiver and a semester-long challenge. The challenge aims to reward you for moving your body and engaging your mind! And the fee waiver is here to help make wellness and recreation opportunities more accessible.
Active Aggies Challenge
Join us for our new incentive program, the Active Aggies Challenge. Get rewarded for using Campus Recreation facilities (ARC, Fieldhouse, and HPER/Pools) and participating in formal programming. Work your way through our three tiers and get rewarded at each level.
Registration is required to participate, but is completely free. Sign up now, as every swipe counts! Register online at RecPortal or at the ARC front desk. Upon registration and receipt confirmation, you will get an Active Aggies sticker.
Formal programming includes any event or activity held by a department within Campus Recreation. For example, participating in an Intramural season, having a group fitness membership, going on an Outdoor Programs trip, and more.
End-of-Year Celebration
Celebrate your Active Aggies achievements at our End-of-Year Celebration on December 2nd, from 5-7pm in the MAC Gym at the ARC. Grab your tier prizes, be entered to win even more raffle prizes, and grab food. Note, you must be present to win.

Fee Waiver
Fall semester application period: August 23 - September 13
The Active Aggies Fee Waiver allocates funds each semester to make recreation and wellness opportunities more affordable and accessible for current USU students. By completing our survey, students can apply for a discount on formal programming in select departments (max $50). Apply as many times as needed, but note that you're only eligible for one discount per semester if awarded.
The fee waiver program functions as a discount/credit and is not a reimbursement for past purchases. Awards can be applied for group fitness memberships, personal training sessions, intramural memberships, club sport admin fees, nutrition coaching packages, swim conditioning, climbing clinics, and race registrations. Note that you will only be awarded for one formal program, and you must use your discount code during the semester you've applied for.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I purchase my membership or program registration before receiving Fee Waiver funds?
No, we can not issue refunds. Awards are provided as a promo code for use at checkout.
Can I apply for another Fee Waiver if I already received funds?
Students are only eligible for one discount per semester if awarded.
I've participated in formal programming and used facilities in the past, can I count that towards the Active Aggies Challenge after I register?

Can I use my Fee Waiver funds in the spring if I applied for them in the fall?
