A USI (Unique Student Identifier) is your individual education number for life. It also gives you an online record of your vocational education and training (VET) undertaken in Australia.
It is a reference number made up of ten numbers and letters that is free and easy to create and stays with students for life. The USI will give you access to an online record of your nationally recognised training in the form of a USI Transcript. This can be used when applying for a job, seeking a credit transfer or demonstrating pre-requisites when undertaking further training.
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.
Creating a USI will only take a few minutes and it is free. You only need to create a USI once and it will stay with you for life. After you create your USI, you then need to give it to your training organisation you enrol with.
