How do I create a USI (unique student identifier)? 

Creating a USI can be one of the biggest bottlenecks for a student just starting their learning journey 

Your Unique Student Identifier (USI) is your personal alphanumeric education identifier required for all nationally recognised study, including university and vocational education and training (VET).

Why you need a USI

You need a USI if you are:

  • studying nationally recognised vocational education and training (VET)
  • seeking a VET student loan
  • a higher education student seeking Commonwealth financial assistance e.g. HELP loan  or enrolling in a Commonwealth Supported Place
  • a higher education student graduating.
