RECSPORTS POLICIES

The Department of Recreational Sports receives the majority of its funding from Activity and Service (A&S) fees paid out by students upon enrollment in classes at the University of Florida. These policies protect the interests of fee-paying students. UF students, staff and faculty are members of the RecSports Board of Directors that approve these policies.
