Digital transcripts now available to University of Waterloo students with MyCreds™

The University of Waterloo immediately recognized the benefits of joining the National Network – owned by the Association of Registrars of the Universities and Colleges of Canada (ARUCC).

 

Through MyCredsTM, 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 MyCredsTM are tamper-evident and cryptographically signed, making them authentic and official.

 

“Congratulations and warm welcome to the University of Waterloo as they join the MyCredsTM National Network,” says Darran Fernandez, OURA Representative, ARUCC Executive Committee. “We are thrilled to see the progress that post-secondary institutions in Ontario have made in embracing MyCredsTM thereby increasing the secure digital sharing of official post-secondary transcripts and credentials. The University of Waterloo joining is another step forward in making academic documents accessible to all learners across the country.”
