Unique Student Identifier (USI)
What is the Unique Student Identifier (USI), and why do I need it?
Your Unique Student Identifier (USI) is your education number for life. All students studying at our Australian campuses will need to have recorded their USI with us, without it, you will not be able to enrol or graduate.
Who needs a USI?
- Domestic students seeking financial assistance and accepting Commonwealth Supported Places
- Domestic and onshore International students graduating in 2023 and beyond
How do I get a USI?
You only need your ID and must be in Australia to register for your USI. Get your USI now at www.usi.gov.au
Already have a USI?
If you already have a USI but can’t remember what it is, go to usi.gov.au/students/find-your-usi There you will be able to search for your USI using your contact details.
Where do I record my USI at Murdoch?
Register your USI with Murdoch by going to MyInfo and,
- selecting USI Verification under Personal Details menu item, or
- going to the Self-enrolment Steps and choosing step 3 USI Verification
Why is my USI not verifying?
Your details need to match across MyInfo and the USI Registry. If your USI is not verifying, one or more of the below do not match:
- First/Given name
- Family name
- Single name (if you only have one name)
- Unique Student Identifier
- Date of Birth
What happens if I don’t provide my USI?
If you are a domestic student you will not be able to enrol without a verified USI. If you have already been enrolled and are accessing financial assistance or hold a Commonwealth Supported Place, and you have not provided your USI by your census date, your enrolment will be cancelled. If you are an onshore international student, you will need your USI to graduate.
