A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is your individual education number for life. All students studying in Australia are required to have a USI if they are a higher education student graduating in 2023 or beyond. This requirement also gives you an Online record of your educational journey and training providers undertaken in Australia.

If you already have one, please send it to application@imc.edu.au with your student name and number.

If you do not have one, please log onto https://www.usi.gov.au/ and create one. The process is free and should take less than 5 minutes to complete.

Please note that this is a mandatory requirement for all students. Visit https://www.imc.edu.au/study/learn-about-the-usi/ for more information.
