Saskatchewan Polytechnic adopts Canada’s new, official credential wallet for its learners and graduates
In signing the agreement with the Association of Registrars of the Universities and Colleges of Canada (ARUCC), Sask Polytech becomes the eighth of 13 polytechnics in a growing number of higher education institutions in Canada to adopt MyCreds™. MyCreds™ is a national, shared service and platform developed by the ARUCC on behalf of member institutions. Through MyCreds™, learners will be able to securely and conveniently access and share their academic documents with other colleges and universities, employers and third parties. Documents issued through MyCreds™ are tamper-evident and cryptographically signed, making them authentic and official.
MyCreds™ has distinct benefits for Sask Polytech learners and graduates, higher education institutions, employers, government and third parties. For learners, the convenience of continuous access and added security are improvements to previous methods of requesting and accessing official documents through email or phone calls. Sask Polytech and its peer institutions will also benefit from the added security of MyCreds™, and the new system will streamline internal processes for document processing and verification. Employers, government and other third parties will benefit from the confidence, trust and fraud protection that the new wallet offers.
