Getting to TAFE

Visit the relevant campus page to find information on parking, cycling, and public transport options for your campus. Full time students may be eligible for discounted fares on public transport services, visit the TransLink website for more information. 

Academic calendar

Check out the academic calendar for information on all our key events and important dates such as term and semester start and end dates, census dates, campus closures, orientation weeks, and graduation ceremonies.

Student ID card

During your orientation session you'll find out when and where you can get your student ID. You'll need it to borrow books from the library, gain access to certain facilities on select campuses, and to sit exams. It will also give you access to discounted public transport, movie tickets, and meals.

Due to high volumes of students, select campuses operate on a timetable to obtain your ID card.
