Unique Student Identifier

Your USI (Unique Student Identifier) is your individual education number for life. It also creates an online record of your Australian education achievements.

You need a USI if you are:

undertaking Nationally Recognised Training
a higher education student seeking Commonwealth financial assistance (eg a FEE-HELP loan)
a higher education student graduating in 2023 or beyond

How to get a USI

Go to the USI Registry System, and have a valid form of ID ready.
Agree to the terms and conditions (if you have previously agreed to the terms and conditions, you might not see this step).
Select 'Create USI'.
Select your evidence of identity document (see the types of ID you can use).
Enter your personal details exactly as they appear on your form of ID.
If the name you use for business or official purposes is not the name on your form of ID, you can choose to enter this in the preferred name field.
Enter your contact details, including at least two contact methods.
Confirm your identity. The USI Registry System will check and confirm your identity using the ‘Documentation Verification Service’ (DVS).
Secure your account with a USI password and check questions.

Check if you already have a USI

If you have studied anything within Australia since 2015 you may already have a USI.

Find your USI here

There are 4 ways to help you retrieve your USI if you can’t remember it. They are:

Email address you might have registered with originally
Mobile number and date of birth
Personal Details and Check Questions
Personal Details and an ID Document

How to provide us with your USI

Once you have your USI, you can provide it to us via the Student Portal.

Log into the Student Portal using your student email credentials.
Go to the 'Personal Information' section and click on 'Unique Student Identification'.
Enter in your USI number into the box provided and select 'Continue'.
A confirmation message ‘Thank you, your USI has been saved’ will be displayed.

This will upload your USI into your student information system against your enrolment record.

International students

Studying in Australia

International students who have entered Australia to study must obtain a USI to graduate from their course.

To create a USI, you will need to have been issued with an Australian Visa from customs. If you have yet to be issued with an Australian Visa, you will not be able to create a USI with your non-Australian issued passport.

Studying outside of Australia

International students who study with us, who undertake all study offshore online are not required to have a USI.

Studied in Australia but since left the country

If you completed your course after 1st January 2023 and did not get a USI during your studies in Australia, you will need to apply for an exemption.

To apply for an exemption, visit the USI website.
