The Unique Student Identifier (USI) is an Australia-wide student number which allows students to track their training records across all Australian states and territories.
USI Transcripts are updated by NCVER after end of year data submissions. Any data submitted through NCVER gets pushed to USI by the department thereon after.
Some Learners do not require a USI. These Learners still however require a value entered into the USI field. If one of the following codes are used in place of an actual USI values, the Learner will not be able to access training details on the new USI transcript system.
The following codes must be used:
INTOFF – Use this code in the USI field for International Offshore Students. To use this the Client’s address must have a Country other than Australia. This is so that the Postcode will be set to ‘OSPC’. Training activity cannot have the Funding Source National code – ‘20’ (domestic client – other revenue)
SHORT – use this code in the USI field for Learners in eligible Short Course. If a Learner participating in a Short Coursedoes have a USI this can be added
INDIV - Some Learners can have special exemptions. You can enter this code for these Learners.
