Burman University offers students virtual credentials via MyCreds™

Through MyCreds™, students will be able to access and share their academic documents with other colleges and universities, government, employers and third parties securely and conveniently. Documents issued through MyCreds™ are tamper-evident and cryptographically signed, making them authentic and official.

 

“We are thrilled to see many early adopter institutions in Alberta join the MyCreds™ National Network,” says Melissa Padfield, Vice-President of ARUCC. “The virtual credential wallet and technology brings Alberta to the forefront of digital innovation and provides remarkable service to our learners.  Burman University joins an expansive network across the province including the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary, the University of Lethbridge, SAIT, NAIT and Medicine Hat College, among others.”
