Blackboard Login

Step 1

***Prior to logging into Blackboard, please complete the steps in the Secure your Account section above to ensure you secure ongoing access to your TAFE Account.

You can watch the Student Login to Blackboard video for more information.

 Important Information

• You MUST set up your Office 365 account.  Your Office 365 account will sync all the other programs including Blackboard and Email.  It is in Office 365 that you can change your password for your TAFE accounts (because they are synced they will all use the same password)
• Your login for Office 365 will be your student email i.e.:  StudentID@tafe.wa.edu.au
• Your default password will be TafeDDMMYYYY (where DDMMYYYY is your date of birth, e.g. Tafe25121999)

For more information, see YOUR TAFE ACCOUNT, SECURE YOUR ACCOUNT, and PASSWORD HELP in the above dropdowns.

Step 2

To sign in, click Blackboard(opens in a new tab) , use your Student email address for your login and your TAFE Account password (the same one as Office 365).

Special Notes

• For the best result, Blackboard needs to be opened in the Chrome browser, or Safari if you are using an Apple device
• Internet Explorer does not currently support Blackboard and even though it will open the program, it will not function properly
• Always LOG OUT of Blackboard – closing the internet, or letting it time out, can cause issues the next time you try to log in, and may cause Password Lockout.

Password Lockout

To protect your account from security breaches, your account will be locked out if five failed login attempts occur within 15 minutes. Once it is locked, you will need to wait for at least 15 minutes before your account is unlocked so you can enter a correct password.  Unfortunately, this may not work if you have not logged out of a previous session.

Remember: If your account is locked, all your devices using your TAFE account, including applications and Wi-Fi, will be affected.  Once you’ve changed your password, ensure you change your password on all of the applications that use your TAFE Account.
