Spouses/Spouse Equivalents


If you are eligible to purchase a membership and you fall into the following categories, there is a new procedure to purchase a membership and obtain a Husky Card ID.


Step # 1: Stop by the Marino Center and fill out a “Husky Card Authorization Form”. This form must be filled out by the person purchasing the membership and in the presence of Campus Recreation Staff in 140 Marino Center.

Step # 2: Once the form has been completed, the paperwork will take 2-4 days to process. You will receive an e-mail when the authorization process is complete.

Step # 3: Once you have been contacted, you will need to return to the Campus Recreation Office, 140 Marino Center, to complete the application procedure and pay for your membership. PLEASE BRING A COPY OF THE E-MAIL WHEN YOU RETURN TO THE MARINO CENTER.

Please note: You cannot pay for a membership until the “Husky Card Authorization Form” has been processed and a new NU-ID number is issued.



Northeastern University full-time benefit-eligible faculty and staff who have paid the annual NU Recreation Membership Fee may purchase a membership for their spouse, spousal equivalent and any dependents who are 18 years of age, or older. A fee will be assessed in order to utilize the Marino Recreation Center, the Cabot Center, and the Badger & Rosen SquashBusters Center. A Northeastern photo ID will be issued at Student Central, entitling the individual access to the Marino Recreation Center and the Badger & Rosen SquashBusters Center: Monday – Friday from 6:00am – 10:00am; all open hours on Saturday, Sunday and school holidays. During the summer semesters, individuals will have access during all open hours. Admittance to the facility will be denied to anyone without a current, valid NU Husky Card photo ID.
