To check if you already have a USI, use the ‘Forgotten USI’ link on the USI website. If you have not yet obtained a USI you can apply for it directly using the 'Get a USI' link on the USI website.

Victorian Student Number (To be completed by all students aged up to 24 years)

Since 2009 in schools and since 2011 for vocational education and training (VET) organisations and Adult Community Education providers, a Victorian Student Number (VSN) has been allocated upon enrolment to each individual student aged up to 24 years. Students should report their VSN on all subsequent enrolments at a Victorian school or training organisation. In particular, all students who are currently enrolled in either a VET provider or a Victorian school (including those already participating in a VET in schools program) should obtain their VSN from their current education or training organisation and report their VSN on this enrolment form. Students who are enrolling for the first time since the VSN was introduced will get a new VSN. 

If you have entered your VSN you can skip the question below and go straight to the next section - Fees.

Fees:

I understand that the Deposit or Tuition Fee should accompany this enrolment form. To withdraw from the course after commencement, notice in writing is required. Any remaining fees for training yet to be delivered must be paid, up to a maximum of $500.00.
