Student Identifier
Standards: Clause 3.6
The RTO meets the requirements of the Student Identifier scheme, including:
a) verifying with the Registrar, a Student Identifier provided to it by an individual before using that Student Identifier for any purpose;
b) ensuring that it will not issue AQF certification documentation to an individual without being in receipt of a verified Student Identifier for that individual, unless an exemption applies under the Student Identifiers Act 2014;
c) ensuring that where an exemption described in Clause 3.6 (b) applies, it will inform the student prior to either the completion of the enrolment or commencement of training and assessment, whichever occurs first, that the results of the training will not be accessible through the Commonwealth and will not appear on any authenticated VET transcript prepared by the Registrar; and
d) ensuring the security of Student Identifiers and all related documentation under its control, including information stored in its student management systems.
QCI considerations
- How does your RTO verify a USI submitted by a learner?
- How does your RTO retain evidence that an exemption has been granted?
- How does your RTO ensure that a learner’s USI, when recorded digitally, is safe from unauthorised access, loss or damage?
- How does your RTO ensure that a learner’s USI, when in a hard-copy record, is safe from unauthorised access, loss or damage?
