Certificate printing and the USI

The USI legislation requires that RTOs only issue formal certification to students who have supplied a USI which has passed verification.

From 1/1/2015 all certificate record print attempts will check the student USI status.
A warning will show for any certificate print or reprint where the student doesn’t have a USI. A certificate created after 1/1/2015 will not print without a verified USI.

A range of warnings and errors will appear based on your onCourse access rights.
By default, all non admin users do not have permission to print certificates for students without verified USIs.

All admin users will see the warnings if a student doesn’t have a USI or verified USI, however they will be able to proceed to print for all certificates if they choose.

Figure 457. This is a warning only. You can still proceed by selecting print.

All access roles have two optional levels of access - print certificate without verified USI (this means the student has supplied a USI that meets the checksum requirements, but for whatever reason it hasn’t passed verification with the USI Registry System) and a higher level of permission, print certificate without USI.

We do not recommend that you allow staff permission to print certificates without verified USIs.

Figure 458. This access role does not have permission to print certificates without a verified USI.
