Saskatchewan Leads Canada in Transforming High School Transcript Management with ARUCC MyCreds|MesCertif

In a pioneering move that will transform how high school transcripts are managed and shared, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education has partnered with the ARUCC MyCreds|MesCertif national network. Saskatchewan is set to become the first province in Canada to migrate all high school transcripts to this cutting-edge digital credential platform.

This collaboration is a major step forward in digital education, empowering students with unprecedented control over their academic records. Through MyCreds|MesCertif, high school graduates will be able to access, manage, and share their transcripts with post-secondary institutions and employers, all through a secure, easy-to-use digital system.

The ARUCC MyCreds|MesCertif network is centred around learner agency, allowing students to determine where, when, and how their transcripts are shared. This innovation marks a shift towards a more personalized, student-focused approach to education, ensuring that students maintain control over their records in a secure environment.
