Membership Adjustments & Refunds
Due to the unexpected closure of our facilities, Campus Recreation memberships will be adjusted to compensate members for lost time. Members taking advantage of ongoing monthly bank debit can expect a hold on all monthly charges until facilities are reopened. Members expiring in March or April will be contacted to receive a prorated refund for days lost due to the closure. Memberships expiring after April will receive all days lost due to the closure added to the end of their current membership. For questions, please email CampusRec-Memberships@ohio.edu.

Freestyle ice time is for private one-on-one lessons. Though it is open to the public, it is intended for the use of coaching students who have finished Learn To Skate training program. It is more structured/programmed than public recreational skates. Freestyle sessions allow skaters extra practice time to fine-tune their skills. Skaters can work independently on various skills or receive a private lesson.
