Dal Co-op students

Full-time Dal students who do not pay the student service fee while on co-op work terms do not have access to Dalplex or Sexton Memorial Gym until they return to classes on a full-time basis.

To maintain access to both facilities, full-time Dal students on co-op can purchase a co-op term membership.
