MyCreds™ and McGill
Now available! Students will be able to access certain documents such as official electronic transcripts, custom letters, documents, and forms via their MyCreds e-wallet.
MyCreds™ is a secure document sharing platform built in collaboration with ARUCC (the Association of Registrars of the Universities and Colleges of Canada) that gives students and alumni of Canadian universities and colleges access to a secure digital credential sharing wallet via an online platform.
MyCreds will be used by McGill’s Enrolment Services to allow students and alumni to share their digital credentials with a third party via a secure online platform. When a document such as a custom letter or form is issued to a student or alumnus of McGill by Enrolment Services, they will receive an email, which will prompt them to log into the MyCreds portal with their McGill credentials. Once logged in to MyCreds, they can view and/or pay a fee to securely share their document with a third party. Documents shared though MyCreds contain digital signatures when students/alumni share their documents with third parties through the portal, these digital signatures ensure their authenticity as a document issued by McGill University.
General information
McGill students and alumni or former students who were registered or graduated from McGill as of 1972 or later can request an official transcript in PDF format to send to educational institutions, employers, funding agencies, immigration authorities, or any third party.
Unofficial vs Official Transcripts
Unofficial Transcript
An unofficial transcript is one that is for student use only. Unofficial transcripts do not bear the Registrar's signature, and they cannot be used to transfer to other institutions. To access your unofficial transcript:
1. Log into Minerva
2. Select the Student Menu
3. Select the Student Records Menu
4. Click View Your Unofficial Transcript
Official Transcript
An official transcript provides a complete academic record of a student’s time at McGill and must be requested through the university. Official transcripts bear the Registrar’s signature and can be used for transferring to other institutions, confirming education or credential verifications, for professional employment verifications, as well as other third-party agencies or authorities.
