Membership fees for the general public are set at IDR 300,000 per month for a monthly membership or IDR 20,000 for daily access. The distinct pricing for public users (separate from student or athlete rates) confirms that this fitness center, although university-owned, functions as a shared facility open to the local community with a structured fee.

This publicly promoted paid access demonstrates UNS’s commitment to maximizing the use of campus assets and sharing recreational sports facilities with the wider community beyond the academic environment.
Conclusion
Through these initiatives, UNS demonstrates its commitment to sharing sports facilities with the local community, including local schools, other universities, and the general public. Both event-based access to selected facilities and fee-based access to public fitness and swimming facilities give external users opportunities to benefit from university sports infrastructure. By facilitating shared use of its sports facilities, UNS promotes community engagement, encourages active, healthy lifestyles, and strengthens the university’s role as a resource for the wider community.
