Humber College is partnering with MyCreds™ to provide students and graduates with greater mobility in accessing and sharing transcripts electronically. Humber students and graduates now have 24/7 access to transcripts in their own virtual credential wallet.
“We are thrilled to announce that Humber College, Canada’s largest polytechnic, is joining ARUCC’s MyCreds™ National Network. Humber combines theoretical learning and hands-on experience with applied research and extensive industry connection,” says Barb Riach, associate vice-president, enrolment management & registrar, Humber College. “With the MyCreds™ virtual wallet, and 24/7 access to their documents, our learners will be supported every step of the way as they advance through their academic journey and work towards their career goals.”
Through MyCreds™, Humber students will be able to securely and conveniently access and share their academic documents with other colleges and universities, government, employers and third parties. Documents issued through MyCreds™ are tamper-evident and cryptographically signed, making them authentic and official.
“Seeing another Ontario college join the MyCreds™ National Network demonstrates the province’s commitment to provide exceptional service delivery and innovative technologies to learners,” says Don Duclos, CRALO Representative, ARUCC Executive Committee. “Humber College joins several other Ontario colleges, polytechnics and universities already benefiting from the network including Seneca College, Georgian College, Ryerson University and Western University among others.”
