Depending on your course of study, your workgroup may have already placed you in the classes for your course. In this case, you may view the classes you have been placed in by selecting the “Student Detail Schedule” option under the “Registration & Enrolment” menu.

For most courses of study, students have to enrol into their classes online via Self Service. Once logged in, go to the “Enrol – Add or Drop Classes” option under the “Registration & Enrolment” menu. All classes related to your course of study will be displayed. Each class is given a Course Reference Number (or “CRN”). Select the class(s) of your choice and then click on “Enrol/Register”.

Around half of TAFE SA students apply through the South Australian Tertiary Admissions Centre (SATAC), which also administers entrance to South Australian Universities. Most school leavers looking at either University or TAFE SA Award Courses will need to make their application through SATAC and wait to receive notification on what offers have been made to them.

If you're accepted into a TAFE SA course, once you have accepted your offer, you will receive a letter from TAFE SA instructing you to log in to MyTAFE SA.

If you're not applying through SATAC, click on the “New TAFE SA Admissions” link, create a temporary ID and PIN and work your way through the application process. 

When applying, you may be asked to select a student type before you choose your course. For international students or short course and general interest applicants, this choice should be straightforward. Some other student types are still required to apply for their course directly at a TAFE SA campus.

However, if you're not sure which type of student you are, call 1800 882 661 or contact us.

If you're an apprentice, you can only register for classes once you have a formal apprenticeship contract.

Your student details will be available in MyTAFE SA following your apprenticeship registration and you'll be notified whether you need to register for classes through MyTAFE SA.

Refer to our Apprenticeships and Traineeships page for information on applying for an apprenticeship.

If you are receiving a Centrelink benefit to study, you will require a proof of enrolment.

Login to Self Service, ensuring you are connected to a printer, to print the documents required for proof of enrolment.

You will need to print both the Student Detail Schedule and Registration Status.

These printouts can be submitted following the instructions from Centrelink.
