Unique Student Identifier [USI]

The Australian Government extended the requirement for a Unique Student Identifier (USI) to all higher education students in 2021.
A Unique Student Identifier [USI] is a reference number that creates an online record of your qualifications attained in Australia. All students undertaking a higher education qualification, need a USI in order to receive a qualification upon successful completion from 2023, and to receive commonwealth financial assistance from 2021.

You will need a Unique Student Identifier (USI) before you can enrol in your courses, with the exception of international students. Enter your USI in your enrolment checklist in Access Adelaide before enrolling.
For international and offshore students, further information is available at the USI For Students; offshore international students are not required to provide a USI. 

If you are eligible to defer your fees under an applicable Australian Government Help Loan, you will need to provide a valid USI at enrolment.  You can create your USI now - but if you've completed training in Australia since 2015, you may already have one. If you are eligible to defer your fees, under an applicable Australian Government Help Loan, you will need to provide a valid Unique Student Identifier (USI) at enrolment.

Please ensure that your personal information at the USI Registry Office is exactly the same as the information at the University of Adelaide, this will avoid the risk of having an unverified USI which will impact on your enrolment and graduation.

Providing a valid USI is a student responsibility and is to be provided online through the enrolment checklist in Access Adelaide. USI submission via email or hard copy to the University will not be accepted. Please contact Ask Adelaide if you require assistance.

Request for Commonwealth support and HECS-HELP

Commonwealth Supported students must complete a Request for Commonwealth Support form once for each program in which they are enrolled. Before completing this form you must read the information for Commonwealth supported students booklet, available from http://www.studyassist.gov.au (external link) (hardcopy is available from Ask Adelaide, Hub Central, North Terrace Campus) to understand your obligations.

Upon successful completion of the form you will be given a receipt number and given the option to print your completed form. It is recommended that you print your form, as this is the only opportunity you will have to do so. If you choose not to print your form it is strongly recommended that you note your receipt number.

Request for FEE-HELP assistance

FEE-HELP is a loan facility that helps eligible students to pay their tuition fees. It is a scheme that operates in a similar way to HECS-HELP in that eligible students can borrow from the Commonwealth government for some or all of their tuition fees (within set limits) and repay this through the taxation system.

Domestic students that wish to apply for FEE-HELP must complete this form once for each program. Before completing this form you must read the FEE-HELP Information booklet, available from http://www.studyassist.gov.au (external link) (hardcopy is available from Ask Adelaide, Hub Central, North Terrace Campus) to understand your obligations.

Upon successful completion of the form you will be given a receipt number and given the option to print your completed form. It is recommended that you print your form, as this is the only opportunity you will have to do so. If you choose not to print your form it is strongly recommended that you note your receipt number.

Please note that you cannot successfully complete this form without providing your Tax File Number (TFN). If you do not have a TFN and have applied to the Australian Taxation Office for one, it is strongly recommended that you obtain a certificate from them and provide it to Ask Adelaide. You must provide either your TFN or a certificate of application for a TFN to the University before the census date. If you do not do so you are not eligible to use FEE-HELP and will be required to pay your full tuition directly to the University.

You must enter the year and teaching period you expect to complete your studies. This information is important as it allows us to contact you electronically and provide information about graduation ceremonies and what you need to do to prepare for your graduation.
