Ryerson University shifts to ARUCC’s MyCreds™ | MesCertif™ credential wallet platform

Ryerson has been progressive in moving towards a modern learning environment and adopting digital advancements to support its students. As the COVID-19 pandemic shut down campuses and forced graduation ceremonies to be held virtually, finding means to issue academic documents electronically became a top priority for the university.

Ryerson entered the digital credential environment by launching as a proof of concept on the Irish Digitary core in summer 2020 as the first institution in Canada to participate in a global network of digital document exchange. Today they are officially shifting to the MyCreds™ | MesCertif™ core powered by Digitary, already having provisioned nearly 18,000 Ryerson students and graduates with credential wallets to date.

On Ryerson’s class of 2020 virtual graduation day in June, the university issued their first round of e-awards to the graduating students followed by e-transcripts. Ryerson used the platform to further empower learners, issuing proof of enrolment letters to students via the online wallet in December 2020. MyCreds™ | MesCertif™ will revolutionize the accessibility of credentials to all learners and will support Ryerson students before, during and after their experience at the university.
