AVETMISS error codes/3865
AVS error 3865
ErrorNAT00080Unique student identifier
What it means
USI is not a valid format (10-char alphanumeric, upper-case) or a valid exemption code.
How to fix it
Verify the USI via the USI Office and enter it in upper case, or use a valid exemption (e.g. INTOFF for offshore clients).
Does RTObase catch this automatically?
Partly, RTObase catches the format and range problems locally; the exact match (e.g. postcode/suburb, or a training.gov.au lookup) is confirmed at fix time.
