MyCreds™ is a national, shared service and platform that provides learners access to a secure, online, password-protected learner credential wallet.

This virtual wallet allows you to view and share your verified and official transcripts, credentials, and academic documents in a digitized format on a 24/7 basis – anytime, anywhere. Secure, cryptographically signed documents can be sent conveniently to institutions, organizations, or individuals and require no further verification, reducing the time it takes to provide required documentation.

Digitary provides the underlying engine powering MyCreds™. Digitary was launched in Dublin, Ireland in 2005, and has grown to become a leading online platform for certifying, sharing, and verifying academic credentials. Learner-centric since the very start, Digitary enables millions of learners to share their verified academic achievements online, securely, quickly, and easily. Digitary is now used by organizations in over 135 countries. For further details visit www.digitary.net. 

The Association of Registrars of the Universities and Colleges of Canada provides leadership in the post-secondary education field and service to its member institutions nationally and internationally, helping foster the advancement of registrarial practices and learner-focused service delivery in Canada. ARUCC owns MyCreds™.

MyCreds™ is a secure, online service that's accessible to you anytime. Once we've uploaded a document, you can log in at your convenience to share it. There's no lineup and you don't have to wait for us to physically send an envelope anywhere.

In the past you would identify who you would want the physical document to be mailed to. Now everything is done digitally, so the process has changed.

Currently, it works like this:

• You request a document through MyAdmin
• We upload the document to the secure site
• You receive a notification ***
• You log in to MyCreds(TM) and share it as many times as you like to whoever you like (even yourself!)

*** if this is your first time making a request/receiving a notification, watch for an email from mycreds in which you're asked to create a MyCreds™ account.

You can share any official documents that we've uploaded to your MyCreds(TM) digital wallet. In June, 2022, when we go live, that will be limited to Confirmation of Graduation letters. But we'll add other official documents over time. Next in line are Confirmation of Enrolment letters and Transcipts.
