“We are excited to be able to bring this resource to our institution and provide our students and alumni with 24/7 access to their credentials and educational documents,” says Andrea Sanderson, Academic Registrar at the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies. “This shift to issuing official documents electronically through MyCreds™ will bring about increased administrative efficiencies, provide greater convenience and ease of access to documents, and support the agency and mobility of our learners.”

 

“Helping the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies join MyCreds™ represents an important expansion of digital support services for students,” says Joanne Duklas, ARUCC MyCreds™ Executive Lead. “This next stage of service improvement will allow their learners 24/7 access to view and share their documents with other schools and potential employers. We are excited to support SIIT on this journey and look forward to their planned expansion.”
