As part of efforts to provide a centralised, life-long record of your training & education, allstudents studying in Australia are required to have a Unique Student Identifier. You will need a USI when you enrol or re-enrol if you are a:
• Student enrolling in nationally recognised training for the first time, for example if you are studying with a private training organisation, completing an apprenticeship or skill set, certificate or diploma course
• School student completing nationally recognised training;
• Or a student continuing with nationally recognised training
What is a Unique Student Identifier (USI)?
A USI issimply an ID number, issued through the government website www.usi.gov.au
What doesit give me?
Your USI is like an educational fingerprint. Being able to identify learners this way allows for the development of a
centralised recording system for all of your future education & training. Should you lose your copy of an education
transcript, this system will allow you to recover it simply and easily. You can also use the system to print or share
your qualification records when applying for jobs.
Do I have to apply for a USI?
Yes. The Federal Government is asking all training organisations to ensure that their students have a USI. Once this
scheme becomesenforceable, access to your course may become temporarily suspended if a USI is not provided.
Exemptions for individuals
Exemptions are provided for an individual where:
• The individual is an offshore international student studying outside of Australia -this means that international students who are enrolled with an Australian training organisation but are not in Australia while undertakingtheir training do not require a USI in order to receive a VET qualification or statement of attainment. However, training organisations will still be required to submit AVETMISS compliant data in respect of
their offshore international students; and
• The individual has completed the requirements for a VET qualification or statement of attainment prior to 1 January 2015 -this means that individuals who have completed all the requirements for a VET award by 31 December 2014, but did not receive that awardin 2014, do not require a USI in order to be issued with a VET qualification or statement of attainment after 1 January 2015.
In addition, individuals who have a genuine personal objection to being assigned a student identifier will be able to apply
for an exemptionto the Student Identifiers Registrar (https://www.usi.gov.au/about/privacy-and-unique-student
identifier/individual-exemptions-students)
Exemptions for RTOs
Training organizations may be exempted by their Regulator from the need to collect and submit AVETMISS compliant data on nationally recognized training activities on the grounds that submission of such data would conflict with defense or national security legislation and/orcould jeopardize the security or safety of defense, border protection, customs, national security or police personnel.
Should any of the above exemptions apply to Humber College, students will be notified in writing prior to either the completion of enrolment or commencement of training and assessment, whichever comes first, of this exemption and that results will not be available through the USI scheme and will not be appear on any authenticated VET transcript prepared by the Student Identifiers Registrar.
