Definition
Unique Student Identifier

Enter the existing USI created on the USI website or from previous study at another institution. Your entry is validated by the USI check digit algorithm contained in the field.
Name

Enter the student’s name: either single name; or the first, middle and family names.
Process Later

Save the record and process it later in a bulk process.
Submit

Submit the USI and student details for immediate verification using the USI web service.

The Verify USI web service verifies the USI in association with the student’s name and date of birth. If the submit process is successful, a new National ID record is created for the USI.

Customizing USI Messages

The system displays customizable descriptions of the USI field and its entry requirements. It also displays different messages for each USI submission status:

  • USI already exists

  • USI in process

  • USI submission valid

  • USI submission invalid. This can be further clarified as USI deactivated or USI records do not match.

  • USI submission returned an error.

Create and store messages for the USI field and each USI status using the message catalog toolselect (Main Menu, then select PeopleTools, then select Utilities, then select Administration, then select Message Catalog).
