What is a USI?
A USI - Unique Student Identifier is your individual education identifier for life. It also creates an online record of your training attainments in Australia.
If you are undertaking either nationally recognised training, or a higher education qualification, you need a USI in order to receive commonwealth financial assistance, as well as to obtain your qualification or statement of attainment.
So who needs a USI?
Any student studying a VET subject, including partial completion and current Year 12 students applying for TAFE and university courses through VTAC – the USI details need to be recorded through the VTAC account space.
A USI is for life!
You only have to create it once. Create it, or find yours here now.
