Unique Student Identifiers (USI)
All students are required to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI). If you already have a USI, please provide it to us when you complete the Enrolment Form. If you do not have one, please provide us with permission to access or create your USI on your behalf when you complete the enrolment form, or apply for it yourself:
Please note that under the Unique Student Identifiers Act 2014, we are unable to issue a qualification or a statement of attainment unless we have a valid USI or a notice of exemption from the registrar.
