Single names and the USI | Manditory fields on enrolment/verification
AnsweredASQA released an importand update (bottom of post) regarding students with a single name.
Can the "Family name" in the enrolment form (and system) be updated to optional (e.g. not required) to comply with the latest update please?
Important update: single names and the USI
The USI Registry System is equipped to create USIs for students with a single name and is legally obliged to create each USI according to the name or names that appear on the student’s identification documents. If the student’s identification documents display only one name, then a USI must be created with that one name.
If an education or training provider records two names for a student whose identification documents display the student’s name as one name, the USI Registry System cannot be changed to match the provider’s record.
Students do not need to follow up on this issue, it is the education and training providers responsibility. Providers need to work within their Student Management Systems (SMS) to ensure one name can be recorded for students where applicable. If their SMS does not support single names they will need to contact their developers for assistance.
Please refer to the USI website for more information.

Official comment
Good morning Caitlin thanks for reaching out and for asking the question. The main aXcelerate application currently supports learners with a single name, along with the USI integration. We will review how this works with the online enrollment forms and ensure that this aligns with the rest of the system. We will keep this post open for now and we will post further updates as they become available.
