York University joins ARUCC’s MyCreds™ | MesCertif™ to offer students digital access to diplomas

ARUCC’s MyCreds™ | MesCertif™ will give students private online access to their records ensuring they alone decide when and where their personal information is shared. York University students now have secure online access to graduation confirmation and enrolment verification letters, and during March will gain digital access to diplomas. By May, they will be able to request and digitally share their official transcripts with other educational institutions and potential employers through MyCreds™ | MesCertif™.

MyCreds™ | MesCertif™  is expected to bring efficiencies to what has traditionally been a paper-based process and help to mitigate credential fraud. Students will, for example, be able to send official, digitized and cryptographically signed transcripts or other documents in seconds, directly to whomever they like – anytime, anywhere. It is also expected to streamline admissions for international students because if their former institution or regional credential depository like CHESICC in China, is available on the global network, they will be able to send their official academic documents from outside of Canada directly to York, quickly and easily.
