MyCreds™ Nova Scotia Initiative 

Nova Scotia implements MyCreds™ across the province’s public post-secondary education system.

ARUCC MyCredsTMTM | MesCertif National Network (MyCreds™) is a secure document exchange highway for prospective students, current students, and graduates to request and send admissions, registration, graduation, immigration, funding, and employment credentials provincially, nationally, and globally. With the help of MyCredsTM, admissions decisions are made faster for in-province, out-of-province, and international students.

Ten public post-secondary institutions in the province have adopted the MyCreds™ platform through collaboration with the Council of Nova Scotia University Presidents (CONSUP) and EduNova. MyCreds™ is providing the learners attending nine public universities in Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) with access to a secure digital network and credential wallet to view and share their academic credentials and transcripts digitally on a 24/7 basis from anywhere in the world. 

With MyCreds™, learners hold agency over their records. They can share their documents directly with colleges and universities, employers, government agencies, and other third parties instantaneously and securely. MyCreds™ provides the digital infrastructure to facilitate admissions, registrations, and graduations and support student transitions into the workforce.

The education system expects significant improvements in supports for learners, institutions, regulatory bodies, employers, and others. The innovative system allows for faster document processing time, more efficient speed of service, reduction in document fraud and falsified credentials, and an overall reduction in manual work required by staff, allowing staff to re-direct their time to other key functions within their institutions.

“MyCreds™ will provide post-secondary institutions across Nova Scotia with the digital infrastructure to facilitate admissions, registrations, graduations, and support student transitions into the workforce,” says Shawna Garrett, president & CEO of EduNova. “MyCreds™ is a secure document exchange highway for prospective students, current students, and graduates to request and send admissions, registration, graduation, immigration, funding, and employment credentials provincially, nationally, and globally. We expect that onboarding MyCreds™ across the province will make admissions decisions faster for in-province, out-of-province, and international students. We are delighted that all students in Nova Scotia’s public post-secondary system can share their academic records securely and seamlessly as they chase their dreams and pursue their education and career goals.” – Shawna Garrett.
