Instructor Passes and Payment

The Club Sports Council has the limited ability to provide and ID card and sponsor Z Center access for club coaches

If your instructor is an MIT alumni, faculty, or staff, he/she should obtain an ID card via the Alumni Office or Human Resources Office.  Club officers can then request Z Center access for the coach. Faculty/Staff/Alumni ID cards should not expire, but access to the Z Center expires each year on June 30th and will need to be renewed annually through the Club Sports Council.

If your instructor is not an MIT alumni, faculty, or staff, he/she will need a new ID card printed every 1-2 years (expiration date is printed on front of ID card) through the Club Sports Council.  Access to the Z Center expires each year on June 30th and will need to be renewed annually through the Club Sports Council.

An instructor is considered ‘full time’ if he or she is regularly present at club practices. Full time instructors are entitled to an instructor pass, which gives them access to the Z-Center.  Clubs are allowed to have two full time instructor passes.   In very special cases, clubs can request a third full time instructor ID.

Clubs may request single day passes to give guest instructors who visit only a few times to teach special skills/techniques access to the Z-Center.

Z Center access expires annually on June 30th.  In preparation:

1) Confirm whether the instructor’s physical ID card is also expiring (date is printed on the front)

2) Request a new ID card and/or Z Center access via the Club Sports Council
