Eligibility Tiers
Current undergraduate and graduate Furman students enjoy a CRW membership at no additional cost. Access for enrolled students coincides with the current term’s official move-in date. If a student is approved to move-in early for sponsored activities, then their access to CRW programs/facilities will align. Students’ access will continue through the proceeding enrolled terms; i.e., students enrolled in the Spring and subsequent Fall semester will retain access throughout the Summer. Access for students approved for commencement will expire by the first day of class in the proceeding term. Graduating seniors conducting Furman faculty sponsored research may have their access extended on a case-by-case basis.
Current faculty/staff at Furman receive a CRW membership as a benefit. They may pick up their ID card at HR after completing the online request form.
Retirees of Furman and their spouses/partners may continue to enjoy their CRW membership benefit. Dependents of retirees must purchase a community membership to maintain access.
Community CRW memberships are available to members in the surrounding area. Please see pricing and eligibility charts and CRW membership philosophies prior to purchasing.
Affiliate employees are those members who may work on/around the Furman campus, but they are not directly employed by Furman University. Some of these employees may even have a Furman email address. However, affiliate employees are not benefitted a free CRW membership. They must purchase a membership in the affiliate tier to be eligible to utilize the Fitness Center and its amenities. Supervisors of affiliate employees may appeal for access by contacting the director: ian.brown@furman.edu.
Interns are undergraduate/graduate students enrolled at Furman, or a reciprocal institution, that are currently conducting internship work as defined by their institution. Interns are temporary in-nature and intern eligibility expires within 90 days of the beginning of their internship.
Dependents over the age of 13 and spouses/partners of current faculty/staff may enjoy a free membership as well. The sponsoring faculty/staff member must first identify those dependents in their WorkDay profile and then request ID cards from the form on the HR website. Please reach out to HR for instructions on how to add dependents in WorkDay. Dependents visiting home from abroad may either use this system, or purchase a punch pass at the community rate.
Dependents are generally defined as
- Children under the age of 19 and living in the same household.
- A full-time student under the age of 24.
- Any age if permanently and totally disabled and under the care of the sponsoring employee.
See also “Vulnerable Persons” policy listed below. Parents/guardians must be in the same facility for dependents under 18.
Furman alumni may purchase a CRW membership at a discounted rate to continue their access to CRW facilities and some limited programs.
Community Family memberships are available to consolidate pricing for multiple family members in one household. This tier includes 1 head of household, 1 spouse/partner, and up to 4 dependents living in the same household.
Dependents are generally defined as
- Children under the age of 19 and living in the same household.
- A full-time student under the age of 24.

Access Levels
The day pass provides access to CRW facilities & programs (see eligibility table for exclusions).
The trial pass is intended for patrons considering a membership but would like a trial period before continuing with a full membership. This is only a trial, and not intended to replace the other options; hence, individuals are limited to buying this type of pass to once per year. This pass expires within two weeks from purchase.
Intern passes are intended for those with intern eligibility only. Each purchased pass provides 7 visits that must be used within a 90-day window. Unused/expired passes will not be refunded. This is valid for interns staying on Furman University campus only.
The guest pass is intended for existing members to provide sporadic access to their friends and family that may be visiting the campus. The purchaser must have an active membership to buy/bring a guest. Additionally, they must sponsor their guest and be with them throughout their visit. Failure to check-out the guest(s), could result in suspension of membership.
Punch passes are meant as a stopgap measure for those needing more than a day pass, but less than a full-blown membership. Visits are used when the patron wishes to use the facility. Punch passes expire within a year of purchase. Unused/expired passes will not be refunded.
Locker Rooms
Privacy in locker room spaces is a top priority for our campus community, and we’ve heard clearly from students, faculty, and community members on this point. Guided by committee recommendations and ongoing feedback, we’ve incorporated private changing rooms and ADA-accessible facilities so that everyone can feel comfortable and respected. Our goal is to design locker areas that thoughtfully balance convenience with personal privacy, meeting the diverse needs of our campus community.
Details
The Men's and Women's Locker Rooms each feature 22 half-sized lockers, with 6 additional half-sized lockers located outside the single-occupancy locker room (which includes a shower). Of these, 11 lockers per locker room are reserved for rental, available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Locker rentals typically open 30 days before the first day of Fall semester classes. For our inaugural year, rentals for Fall 2026 will open Monday, September 14, 2026, following the first two full weeks of operation. Complete the interest form if you are considering a locker rental.
