LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 1, 2023) ­— As a University of Kentucky employee, you have access to exclusive discounts from a variety of vendors, merchants and providers across the state through the Employee Discount Program.

To use the program, employees must identify themselves when making a purchase by showing a valid UK picture ID or valid UK faculty/staff card and a valid driver's license or other picture ID. 

Please note the following:

  • The university does not warrant any goods or services provided by any business participating in the Employee Discount Program.
  • Please remember this is your program and the Employee Benefits Committee is acting on your behalf in voluntary cooperation with all participating merchants.
  • Questions regarding the program, including vendor inquiries, may be addressed to djmart2@email.uky.edu.

With an emphasis on an employee-centric culture, the university’s focus on benefits and overall employee well-being has helped the university earn recognition as a “Great College to Work For” by The Chronicle of Higher Education for five consecutive years. UK was also recently ranked No. 6 on the 2023 list of America's Best Employers by Forbes.
