The ID card can be used to check out books from the library, gain access to all UofL gyms, access to campus clubs and organizations, and makes you eligible for many student discounts at various merchants. You can also ride the TARC for free!!!

How to validate your ID for the Summer:
ULtra students can validate their UofL student ID for the summer for a cost of $20 but ONLY if you purchased a student ID for the previous spring semester.
To validate, contact ULtra at ultra@louisville.edu or 502-213-4538. We will send your name to the Intramural Office located in the lower level of the SAC right next to the gym. You can then drop in to the Intramural Office, pay your $20 and they will validate the ID for the summer time period.
