Student Unique Identifier (USI)

Do you have an USI

A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a personal reference number issued by the Australian Government to all students undertaking nationally recognised training. It links to your online academic record that contains a student's training records and results. Here’s what it means for you as a student:

  • Unique ID: Your USI is a unique 10-character code made up of numbers and letters.
  • Permanent Record: It acts as a lifetime education record, tracking your training and qualifications across different institutions and throughout your career.
  • Access to Results: Your USI allows you to view and share your training records and results with future training providers or employers.

Having a USI is mandatory for all students in vocational education and training (VET) and higher education in Australia, ensuring your achievements are recognised nationwide and making it easier for you to access your academic records whenever you need them.

To enter your learning platform, you must first submit a valid USI.

1. Yes, I have my USI handy.
