Submission of a USI is a requirement for all Curtin students*, although the consequence of non-submission may be different for you depending on where you are in your student journey.
For example, a domestic student in a commonwealth supported place (CSP) who has not submitted their USI will lose both their CSP and access to their commonwealth financial assistance scheme (HECS-HELP, FEE-HELP, OS-HELP, SA-HELP, etc.). An international student who has not submitted their USI may be ineligible to have their award conferred upon course completion, preventing graduation.
Additionally, any student who has not submitted their USI to Curtin by the census date of their first enrolled study period risk having a sanction placed on their student record.
Given the variables, it is in your best interest to apply for and submit your USI to Curtin as soon as possible.
The good news is that meeting the USI requirement is easy: you only have to apply once and it takes minutes to complete. If you’ve studied or undertaken training previously, you might even have one already.
*Currently, international students continuing or completing their course online from overseas or those studying at a non-Australian campus are not required to apply for and submit a USI.
