USI Exemption Process

There are two types of exemption currently available for students who don’t want to, or can’t, obtain a USI - international students who complete their training offshore (INTOFF), and students who have an individual exemption due to a personal genuine objection (INDIV).
Check the

website] to ensure you have the most current information available about who is entitled to an exemptions and the process required for reporting.

To set a USI exemption in a student’s contact record:

1. Open the contact record and navigate to the VET tab

2. Click the cogwheel option next to the USI field

3. Select the exemption type that applies

   

   
   

4. The record will update to inset the exemption code and marked the student’s record as verified.
   This will allow you to print Certification.

   

Should a student’s exemption status later change, the cogwheel can also be used to remove the special USI status, so an actual USI value can be entered and verified.
