Effective February 6, 2024, Saint Mary’s University students and graduates will now have 24/7 direct access to transcripts via the MyCreds™ platform.
The MyCreds™ platform is a digital document wallet that allows for certifying, sharing, and verifying academic credentials. Saint Mary’s will engage with the platform both as a sender and receiver.
Through MyCreds™, students will be able to securely and conveniently access and share their academic documents with other colleges and universities, government, employers and third parties. Documents issued through MyCreds™ are tamper-evident and cryptographically signed, making them authentic and official.
“At Saint Mary’s, we understand the value and importance of intuitive navigation to services and ease of access for all users,” says Dan Seneker, Associate Vice-President, Enrolment Services and University Registrar. “Implementing the MyCreds™ platform allows Saint Mary’s to modernize an important aspect of engaging with and supporting students. We’re excited to meet students’ needs by simplifying the process of transcript sharing and enhancing their user experience.”
Saint Mary’s has adopted the MyCreds™ platform as part of a larger, provincial strategy developed in collaboration with the Council of Nova Scotia University Presidents and EduNova.
Students and graduates will gain access to the MyCreds™ platform through the Self-Service Banner and will be prompted to set up their MyCreds™ account upon first access.
