Student Portal is a one-stop-shop for SM TAFE students to:

New students (without an SM TAFE IT account)
Within 24-48 hours of your successful enrolment you will be sent an email with your account details (login and password) which will provide access to SM TAFE systems including student email, Office 365, Blackboard, Student Portal and Library systems.
If it is more than 48 hours since your successful enrolment, please check your junk mail folder, and look for an email from 'DTWD'. The email cannot be reissued as it is automated by your enrolment status in our systems. If you believe your email has been lost, you can try to use your login details as:
User Name: SM TAFE Student ID number
Password: TafeDDMMYYYY
(Replace DDMMYYYY with your date of birth)
For example, if your Student ID is 30000123 and your default Office 365 password is your birth date of 1 January 1972 your Student Portal logon details would be:
User Name: 30000123
Password: Tafe01011972
