Your education number for life
Your USI (Unique Student Identifier) is your individual education number for life. It also creates an online record of your Australian training achievements.
You need a USI if you are:
- a student studying nationally recognised Vocational Education and Training (VET)
- seeking a VET student loan
- a higher education student seeking a HELP loan or Commonwealth Supported Place
- a higher education student graduating in 2023 or beyond.
