Memberships

Rec & PE Memberships have a strict no cancellation policy and are therefore non-refundable. The type of Rec & PE Membership determines the duration of the particular membership, and it automatically ends after the last day of the specific membership type. Annual and Monthly Rec & PE Memberships are prorated based on the date of enrollment, while Semester Rec & PE Memberships are a flat rate. Memberships Fees will not be reimbursed or prorated due to planned or emergency closures, i.e. holidays, construction, breaks or events deemed necessary by Duke University. Rec & PE Memberships are assigned to a specific individual and may not be transferred to a different individual.
