Unique Student Identifer (USI)
A USI is required by all Australians undertaking nationally recognised training. It allows students to link to a secure online record of all qualifications gained regardless of the provider. This system was implemented by the Australian Government in 2015, so it will show student achievements from 1 January 2015 onwards.
Why you need a USI?
If you're at university, TAFE or doing other nationally recognised training, you need a USI. Without one, you can't get Commonwealth financial assistance or your qualification or statement of attainment.
How to sign up or find your USI?
The USI is available online and at no cost to the student. This USI will stay with the student for life and be updated with any nationally recognised training undertaken by the student. From the 1st of January 2015 students must register for a USI and provide this when enrolling in any accredited training.
For VET students, the USI gives you access to an online record of your nationally recognised training in the form of a VET transcript. This can be used when:
- applying for a job
- seeking a credit transfer
- demonstrating pre-requisites when undertaking further training.
To apply for a USI, check if you have one or review your online record head over to the USI website: https://www.usi.gov.au/
