The activity, services, building, and recreation fee is a mandatory fee that supports a variety of activities and services for all students. The fee supports student access to Recreation Services facilities and programs whether or not a student uses them. Benefits also include student admission rates to concerts and athletics events, and unlimited use of the CyRide bus system. ISU's Student Government allocates a portion of the fees to campus recreation facilities, the Memorial Union, and campus organizations and services.
