MIT undergrads, grad-students, non-MIT college students, children younger than college age, adults in night school who ask for it, and unemployed non-students who ask for it all get the student rate.
For the Starting in fall of 2011, we agree that MIT students (grad and undergrad) would get in for free for the entire fall subscription period. That way PE students finishing the class wouldn't have to suddenly pay money, and MIT club members wouldn't be tempted to sign up for the PE class but attend infrequently, just to get in free when they do pay. And the hope was also to further encourage student participation. Students going to other colleges Other "students" will still pay the student rate.
In semesters where we're only giving PE credit for one quarter and are charging MIT students for admission, we need to have a subscription rate for ex-PE students. In fall 2010 we charged them $6 for the 7 weeks. In spring 2011 we charged $6 for 8 weeks (including spring break). We also offered finanicial aid for that (sponsored by individual club members and not as a general club policy) such that they could instead pay any amount they could afford, down to $0. The financial aid needs to be offered early enough that people hear about it who would otherwise drop-out of the class due to the cost.
