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.
