Off-Campus Banking Prohibited

Membership Dues & Other Payments

By default, your club can collect membership dues, entry fees, general fundraising, and retail deposits via credit card payments online at the RecSports Online Store. This option is available to all individuals that have current UT EID login credentials.

Refunds

Individuals may be refunded via their original payment method within 90 days of the transaction. To request a refund, submit this online form. A service fee may be charged.

Guest/Visiting Participant & Team Payments

Your club can also collect revenue at the RecSports Online Store from guests off campus, but it takes some set-up. This is mostly done for collecting event entry fees, but we can help set up concession stands, retail items, and other payment options.
