Find your username

    If you can’t remember your TAFE NSW username, there are a few ways to find it:  

    1. If you know your TAFE NSW email address, your username is everything before ‘@studytafensw.edu.au’. Usually, it’s your given name and family name with a dot in between. It may include a number. For example, first name.last name1
    2. If you don’t know your TAFE NSW email address, you could look for the email we sent to your personal email account with your username when you first applied.   
    3. Otherwise, follow the steps on this page to look it up. 

    Before you start

    You’ll need access to the personal email account you used to set up your TAFE account. We’ll send you an email confirming your username to this account. 

    Step 1

    Go to the TAFE NSW login page: my.tafensw.edu.au.

    Select the ‘Forgot username’ link.

    Select ‘Continue’.

    Step 3

    Open the personal email account you used to set up your TAFE NSW account. You’ll receive an email from us with your username.

    If you can’t see an email from us:

    • it may be in your spam folder
    • you may have used the wrong email address (if you have more than one personal email account)
    • you may have mistyped the right email address.
