All students of Auburn University are allowed into the facilities. They are required to scan the bar code of their TigerCard at the front gates. There is a forgiveness policy which allows each student to enter the facility without their ID exactly one time per semester. They must give their Banner ID number at the front desk and be allowed in manually.
Non-students are allowed to purchase a $10 one-day guest pass; however they must be sponsored by a current university student.
