General Questions
No worries, we get this all the time! We are actually an academic major and not a part of the Student Recreation Center. You can find their information here.
Getting Started in Recreation
Welcome to the exciting world of Recrecreation! Our Department Chair, Dr. Samuel Lankford, would love to go over our major information with you to guide you into what area would suit you best according to YOUR intersts and goals. You can reach out to him directly by phone at 559.278.2624, or for an even quicker response, slankford@csufresno.edu.
Certificates
We understand not every students passion is recreation, but we love that we can collaborate with so many of you! Each of our certificates and the applications can be found here. There is a link to download the application for the certificate in your area of interest which lists the classes you will need to take. For the certificate, all of classes required are open to non-majors.
Each certificate has instructions for turning in your application. Key points to remember are:
1. You will attach a copy of your unofficial transcript or DPR report that shows your final grade for all the required classes.
2. You will want to list your name exactly as you want it to appear on the certificate and the address it should be mailed to.
There is no due date for application, our department will process them during the entire year.
Please email your application and attachments to rasa@csufresno.edu
*Please note: During campus breaks and the summer months when faculty is off campus, processing times are delayed. We thank you for your patience.
