Identification evidence required for enrolment
Before we can finalise your enrolment, we need to make sure we have the right evidence to prove your entitlement to subsidised or concession rates for your course.
Once we have confirmed your evidence, we can apply reduced fee rates such as concession rates to unit fees for qualifications, or allow free entry to skill sets, or allow capping to apply for tuition costs, or support your application for a VET Student Loan.
When you enrol via TAFE Admissions, your literacy and numeracy evidence is assessed and confirmed, and you are sent an offer to study in your selected course. When you are ready to enrol you will need to provide further evidence to prove your eligibility for your place.
How to supply evidence to us
There are multiple ways to get files ready for submitting to us:
- You can scan the evidence, taking care to include both sides of the card or letter and ensuring the quality of the scan shows the evidence clearly enough for us to verify the details. Save the scanned file as a jpeg or PDF to your device, then find it and upload it to our website form or email to our enrolment officers.
- You can take a photo of the evidence using a camera or smart phone.
Once you have prepared your evidence you can submit it to us in the following ways:
- Submit your evidence to us via the 'Get ready to enrol' webform
- Email it to us at student.documents@smtafe.wa.edu.au
- Bring hard copies to the customer service counter at one of our TAFE campus'
