Your Student ID Card is central to accessing services and facilities while you are a student at TAFE SA.  You will use the same Student ID Card throughout your time at TAFE SA.  Make sure you carry your Student ID Card whenever you are on campus.  

You can use your Student ID Card across all TAFE SA Campuses for the following:

  • Official proof of identity as a TAFE Student and current enrolment
  • Library borrowing, printing and photocopying services
  • Access to Student Hub computer areas
  • Access to the Student Laptop Lockers (at campuses where they are provided)
  • Access to discounts (eg for textbooks or student concession at the cinema)
  • Access to transport concession (required to be carried on you whilst using public transport if accessing a Student Concession ticket. See Adelaide Metro for full details.)
  • Access to TAFE SA buildings

All of the above features and access will be active when you receive your card.

Your Student ID Card is your identification as a TAFE SA Student and will show your:

  • Name
  • Photograph
  • Student ID Number
  • A barcode for use at TAFE SA libraries
  • Fulltime/parttime status
  • Expiry date

Student ID

 

  • Getting a Student ID Card For The First Time (New Students)

     

    The first time you get a Student ID Card, you will be required to login to CaptureMe to upload your ID card photo, and provide proof of identity evidence.

    You will be able to order your card on the day you complete your registration. You can either elect to collect your card from a campus listed or have it posted to you. If you have difficulty using the CaptureME system, please visit the Student Hub at your local TAFE SA Campus for assistance.

    Once your photo is verified and approved you will receive an email notifying you that your card will be printed and ready for collection or posted.

    If you elect to have your card posted, it will be sent to the preferred mailing address recorded in the system. Please ensure your details are up to date before ordering your card.

    • Student ID Cards For New Students - Full Instructions

        STEP 1. Upload your own photo and approved ID via CaptureMe

        Log in to the CaptureME website.

        • Verify your identity by uploading a copy of your approved ID (see full details below for acceptable proof of Identify documents)
        • Upload a photo of yourself, using your phone/webcam or an existing saved photograph (see full details below for guidelines for acceptable photos).
        • Confirm your personal details, including your name, email address, and TAFE SA Student ID number.
        • Select whether you would like to have your card posted, or picked up in person from a selected TAFE SA campus.
        • Submit your Student ID Card request for approval.

         

        STEP 2. You will receive an email from CaptureMe

        Your email will confirm the status of your Student ID card request.
        Status updates could be:

        • Approved
        • Card printed
        • Photo not accepted (you will need to submit a new photo)

        Photos may be rejected if they are:

        • Too old, or not a recent likeness of you
        • Filtered or edited
        • Incorrect or inappropriate (eg. taken as a joke, with inappropriate gestures, facial expressions, or content)

         

        STEP 3. Your card is printed and available for posting/collecting

        Depending on your preferred collection method, you will receive notification that your card is available for collection at your nominated campus, or that it is ready for posting to your Australian address (make sure that your details are correct in MyTAFE SA)

    • Proof Of Identity Guidelines

        Your Proof of Identity evidence must be current/valid. It must have a photograph, and be from one of the following options:

        • Australian/Overseas passport
        • Australian drivers licence or learners permit
        • Government proof of age card
        • Secondary School Student Card
        • South Australian or Federal Police Officer photo identity card
        • Immigration card
        • Correctional Services photo ID card
        • Other valid proof of identity document with photo

         

        Sometimes your ID may be rejected. Common reasons for rejected ID are:

        • Your ID has expired. We are unable to accept out of date identification
        • Incorrect ID type. Your ID may not meet the guidelines above
        • Low Resolution. If the ID/photograph is blurry or has low resolution, we will be unable to read/view the image. Resubmit your ID in a higher resolution/clearer image
        • Your ID does not match. If we are unable to verify that the two images/ID’s are the same person, you may be required to upload an alternative ID or personal photo

           

          • When your Student ID Card has been approved, your proof of identity evidence is automatically and safely deleted from the CaptureME System and cannot be recovered, to ensure the safety and security of your personal information.

    • Photo Guidelines

        A recent passport style photograph is required. Your photo must have a plain light coloured background. The difference is you can smile for your Student ID Card photo, and you can take it yourself.

        • We need to clearly see your face, so the photo only needs to include your head and shoulders
        • You should directly face the camera when taking the photo (you dont need to take glamour shots, or show us your best side. Just an everyday photo of you)
        • Do not apply filters or adjust the image colours

         

        ID Card Selfie    

        Photos may be rejected if they are:

        • Too old, or not a recent likeness of you
        • Filtered or edited
        • Incorrect or inappropriate (eg. taken as a joke, with inappropriate gestures, facial expressions, or content)

         

        The image you upload to CaptureMe will be securely stored by TAFE SA and used only for educational purposes, and in accordance with TAFE SA’s privacy guidelines.

      • Laptops must be returned to the campus they were borrowed from.
      • Remember to plug the laptop into the cable in the locker so that it can recharge.

    • Travel Concessions

      Full-Time Students

      Full-time students are eligible to travel at discount fares, using a Student Concession Ticket, on all Adelaide Metro bus, train and tram services – which is called a Tertiary Student Metrocard.

      A student can only travel on a Student Concession Ticket when carrying an approved ID card. A fine may be imposed if a student fails to show their student ID card, even if they are a legitimate student. Improper use of a card can also lead to prosecution.

      Part-Time Students

      Part-time students are not eligible for a Student Concession Ticket. However, students on a low income or who receive government allowances may be eligible for alternative concession rates. The Department of Human Services can issue a Transport Concession Card to eligible students.

      See the Adelaide Metro website for full details.
