If you have not provided UniSC with your Unique Student Identifier (USI) you will have noticed a task in UniSC Central asking you to provide a USI. Your Unique Student Identifier (USI) is a number that identifies you as a student and is used to keep a record of your vocational education.

From Sunday 1 January 2023, all higher education students, including international students studying in Australia, are required to have their USI recorded to graduate and receive their statement of attainment, qualification, or award.

1. Apply for a USI via the Australia Government's USI webpage. It's fast and free, and you keep the same USI for life. You will need at least one form of valid identification.
   • If you have previously completed any VET or TAFE study, you may already have a USI. You can find your USI via the Australia Government's USI webpage.
2. Submit your USI in your 'Request for HELP' task in UniSC Central.

You can check your graduation status anytime by going to the Program tab in UniSC Central. Check your program and personal details carefully to ensure you will complete your study with the correct degree name and degree requirements. Contact Student Central immediately if the information does not match your expectations.

If you have any outstanding fees or library loans you may not be able to graduate or receive your degree certificate.

• Check your financial status on UniSC Central and pay all outstanding fees or charges.
• Return any Library items to the Library Loans Desk at least four weeks prior to your graduation ceremony date.

After your final results are released a Statement of Completion will be emailed to your UniSC Student email account. This confirms you are eligible to graduate.

The Statement of Completion can be used as proof of your degree status with employers until you receive your official degree certificate at graduation.

Contact Student Central if you have not received a Statement of Completion and believe you are eligible to graduate.

By registering to attend graduation, you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions:

- I have checked my name, postal and email addresses on UniSC Central and confirm they are correct.

- I have reviewed my Financial Status on UniSC Central and all outstanding fees or charges have been paid.

- I have returned all Library items and have no unpaid library fines.

- I understand that I will be videoed and photographed during the day and that the ceremony is streamed live on the UniSC website and will remain viewable after this date.

- I understand that UniSC reserves the right to refuse entry to the venue.

At the time of registration you will need to pay your graduation fee of $99.

Guest tickets are complimentary.

If you are unable to attend your graduation ceremony or do not register by the due date, you will graduate in absentia. Your graduation documents will be posted to your current mailing address within 10 working days of the graduation ceremony. You will be able to access digital versions of your graduation documents as well as being sent hard copy documents. You will receive an email confirming when your digital documents are available.

We want all graduands and guests to be able to attend and enjoy graduation. If you or any of your guests have any special requirements to make graduation safer or accessible, please email majorevents@usc.edu.au
