Mohawk College officially partners with ARUCC to launch a digital wallet for students and alumni

“As part of our ongoing commitment to embracing digital solutions and adopting sustainable practices, we are delighted to launch MyCreds™”, says Krista Welsh, Registrar and Senior Director, Strategic Enrolment Management at Mohawk College. “Supporting lifelong learning means providing students and alumni secure access to their academic documents anytime, anywhere, as they continue their academic and professional goals.”

 

Mohawk’s partnership with MyCreds™ begins with digital credentials available to the Fall 2022 graduates and future graduating classes. The college will later expand the virtual wallet functionality to support additional academic documents.

About MyCreds™

MyCreds™ is a national, shared service and platform that provides students and graduates access to a secure, online, password protected learner credential wallet. This virtual wallet allows them to view and share their verified and official transcripts, credentials and academic documents in a digitized format on a 24/7 basis – anytime, anywhere. It also enables sharing between organizations with the learner’s permission. Secure, cryptographically signed documents can be sent conveniently and require no further verification. MyCreds™ is the first and only national bilingual system of its kind in Canada.
