You will need to collect and verify a student’s USI before conferring a qualification or statement of attainment unless a specific exemption applies.More information on exemptions can be found here.
You will need to connect to the USI system to VERIFY USIs even if you’re not planning to create a USI on the student’s behalf. This is required to meet national reporting requirements
