What is a Unique Student Identifier (USI)?
A USI is your individual education number for life. It also gives you an online record of your vocational education and training (VET) undertaken in Australia.
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.
Create your USI
Creating a USI will only take a few minutes and it is free.
Register for a USI here: https://www.usi.gov.au/students/create-usi
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 each training organisation you train with when you enrol. Please watch this video if you need any assistance: https://www.usi.gov.au/video/create-your-own-usi-student-video
