Mount Royal University joins MyCreds™ to offer digital credentials

“MRU strives to provide students with opportunities to empower themselves in order to be successful wherever they might be,” says Geri Lynn Gouglas, Registrar. “We are excited to join the many other post-secondary institutions in offering this innovative service to our students and alumni. As our world evolves, we want to meet students where they are and ensure that their official documents and credentials are accessible. To that end we will be going live at the beginning of March with Parchments, Confirmation of Enrolment letters, Study Permit letters and Graduation letters.”

 

Mount Royal is excited to offer a variety of academic documents through the platform and will be transitioning to the fully integrated version of the system, to include automation of transcripts in late spring, 2022. The Faculty of Continuing Education will additionally be using MyCreds™ for digital badging of micro-credentials for two of its programs.
