The USI is a reference number made up of ten numbers and letters. The USI is your individual education number for life. It’s free, and easy to create.

You need a USI if you are:

• new or continuing student undertaking nationally recognised training
• a higher education student graduating in 2023 or beyond
• a higher education student seeking Commonwealth financial assistance (eg a HECS-HELP loan)

Without a USI, you won’t be able to receive your statement of attainment, qualification, or award.

For VET students, the USI gives you access to an online record of your nationally recognised training in the form of a VET transcript. This can be used when:

• applying for a job
• seeking a credit transfer
• demonstrating pre-requisites when undertaking further training.
