Why are we using this schedule of time blocks?

RecSports is utilizing this schedule of time blocks in order to:

  • Control the density of spaces in our facilities
  • Physically distance cardio and free weights available for participants
  • Maintain the types of equipment in our facility and their location

RecSports Facility Reservations – No Show Policy

Beginning on February 22, RecSports will implement a new No-Show Policy that will apply to any Notre Dame student, faculty, staff, retiree, or spouse that reserves a spot at a RecSports facility, but does not check-in and attend their reservation time.

1st No-Show

Not checking in for your RecSports facility reservation will result in a formal warning. Warnings and no shows are cumulative for the semester.

2nd No-Show

A formal and final warning will be sent to a participant who has had a past no-show. If another no-show occurs, the loss of RecSports facility access will occur for two weeks (14 days).

3rd No-Show

A participant who has already received the consequences mentioned above and has a third no-show will lose all RecSports facility access for two weeks (14 days).

4th No-Show

A participant who has already received the consequences mentioned above and no-shows for a fourth time will lose all access from RecSports facilities for the semester.
