General
How do I become a member of the Student Activities Center?
All current students are members of the Student Activities Center (SAC) as long as they are enrolled in classes at IU South Bend. Faculty/staff have an opportunity to purchase a membership at the reduced rate of $20/month or $200/year. Faculty/staff may buy an additional membership at the same rate for one household member over 18. IU South Bend alumni who are members of the local alumni association have the opportunity to buy a SAC membership at the rate of $30/month or $300/year. Alumni members may buy an additional SAC membership at the same rate for one household member over 18. Contact Angela M. Klontz for more information on memberships at (574) 520-4587.

Can I bring a friend?
Each member is permitted to bring one guest for a daily fee of $5. The guest must leave the facility when the member leaves. Each person that enters the facility must have a completed waiver on file.

What is available in the SAC?
There are two basic areas of the SAC, restricted areas that require passage through the front desk, and unrestricted areas to which all have access. There is unrestricted access to the meeting rooms, student life offices, publications office, the Health and Wellness Center, the administrative offices, the student lounge, the Courtside Café, restrooms, and the lobbies. Restricted access areas include the fitness center, upper level track, the billiards / table tennis (game) room, the group fitness rooms, the locker rooms, the racquetball courts, and the competition courts.

Is equipment available?
Equipment, such as basketballs, volleyballs, billiards equipment, table tennis paddles, weight belts, racquetball equipment, etc., is available free for checkout with your valid IU South Bend ID.

Do I need to reserve exercise equipment or court space?
Currently, reservations are not required. As use of the facility increases, a reservation system may be put in place.

Can I bring my children into the SAC?
Members may bring their children under the age of 18 only during family hours, which are on Saturdays and Sundays from 1-4 p.m., when the facility is not being used for other activities. The fitness center is not available to anyone under 18 at any time. There are age-appropriate games and activities that you can request at the front desk. There is no guest fee required for the children of members during family hours.

Are the meeting rooms available for rent?
Yes. Contact the events coordinator at (574) 520-5111.

Is the court area available for rent?
Yes, based upon availability. Contact the events coordinator at (574) 520-5111.

Is parking available?
Everyone pays a fee to park at IU South Bend. Students, faculty, and staff typically have made arrangements for parking. Alumni members of the SAC may purchase parking at a reduced rate from the Office of Parking Services. Guests or infrequent users may purchase a daily parking token at the front desk for $2, which permits parking in the visitor lot.

Group Fitness Classes
Do I have to pay anything to take the group fitness classes?
The cost is $35.00 for a semester pass which allows you into all classes; or you can purchase a single pass for $2.00 which allows you to take one class one time.

Where do I get a schedule of the group fitness classes?
http://www.iusb.edu/~sbsac/groupfitness.shtml or at the front desk of the SAC

What if I have never taken a group fitness class before, will I be able to keep up?
We have classes appropriate for any level of fitness. Instructors are trained to consider individual differences.

Do I have to be a member of the SAC to take classes?
Yes. To attend fitness classes, each person must pass through the control turnstile. Only members or guests of members ($5 fee) may enter the restricted areas.

Intramural Sports
How do I get involved in intramural sports?
There are several ways to get involved in intramurals

  1. Find an event or sport in which you wish to participate and register
    *Some sports are individual and others are team sports. If you are interested in a team sport, you should put together a team with other classmates, faculty/staff, or eligible SAC members from our campus.
  2. If you do not know enough people on campus to put together a team, you can sign up as a free agent and we will do our best to place you on a team.
  3. Become an intramural official and scorekeeper.

How and when do I register for intramurals?
The intramural calendar lists registration start and due dates. You can begin registering on the start date and the last day to register is the due date. You register by bringing the entry fee to the front desk of the SAC. There, you fill out the registration form and pay the entry fee.

How much are the entry fees?
Twenty-five dollars for team sports and $5 for individual and dual sports

On what nights are games played?
This depends on the availabilities of the teams. When you register you are asked to complete an availability form for your team. After teams are registered, we will determine what night or nights are best for competition. You will receive your schedule and rules at the MANDATORY captains' meeting. Captain meeting dates and times are also listed on the calendar.

How do I get a calendar?
You can get the calendar off the Web site and check out updates by going to http://www.iusb.edu/~sbsac/intramuralsched.shtml or by picking one up at the front desk of the SAC.

How do I become an intramural official and are officials paid?
To become an intramural official, all you have to do is complete an application and ask for the assistant director of recreation at the SAC administrative offices in Student Activities Center 130. You do not need to have previous officiating experience, we will train. Intramural officials start out at $8 per hour.
