MyCreds™ | MesCertif™

MyCreds™ | MesCertif™ is owned by the Association of Registrars of the Universities and Colleges of Canada (ARUCC). It is a national credential wallet for post-secondary learners that has been created by Canadian higher education leadership. It represents an example of how ARUCC and Canadian colleges, institutes, and universities are committed to ensuring official and secure document exchange and adhering to the Groningen Declaration Network (GDN) principles, which emphasize, “Citizens worldwide should be able to consult and share their authentic educational data with whomever they want, whenever they want, wherever.” ARUCC became a signatory to the GDN principles in 2015 and the U of R became a signatory in 2019.

The benefits to students and graduates are enormous. Not only does an individual have stronger control over who their documents are shared with, documents issued through the network are authentic, tamper-evident, and legally valid. Additionally, it will eliminate the time in processing your request, the time frame in mailing or couriering your document, the cost of couriering your document if your request is urgent, the potential of lost documents and, once issued, you will have 24/7 access to your documents.

Documents are issued via the platform and stored securely in MyCreds™ | MesCertif™. Your data remains under the control of the U of R and this information can only be accessed by you, the U of R, and with whomever you chose to share your documents.

The underlying platform has been independently tested by security experts. All certified documents carry a digital signature that meets the legal standards set by the European Union for authentic electronic documents, which meets and exceeds requirements in Australia, New Zealand, and North America.
