Bow Valley College today officially joins the Association of Registrars of the Universities and Colleges of Canada (ARUCC) National Network called MyCreds™ | MesCertif™.

Collectively, the organisations are united in their goal to make digital credentials accessible to all learners in Canada.

MyCreds™ | MesCertif™ provides post-secondary learners across Canada with access to digitized & portable transcripts & credentials online – anytime, anywhere.

Bow Valley College has been progressive in its approach to adopting digital technologies for the purpose of supporting students in a modern learning environment, enabling their global mobility and seeking to advance their employment success through verified digital credentials.

Key features of MyCreds™ | MesCertif™ credential wallet include 24/7 access by learners, bilingual service and support (French and English), and the ability for learners to access, view and share their verified and official transcripts, credentials, and documents in a digitized format.

MyCreds™ | MesCertif™ is supported by dedicated English and French language websites providing easy access to the National Network login gateway. Visit www.mycreds.ca for more details.

“Bow Valley College is passionate about fulfilling our ambition of embracing innovative technology solutions which will be of benefit to our learners,” says Charles Pankratz, director of enrolment services & registrar at Bow Valley College. “In our modern society, it is essential that we empower our students with trusted digital capabilities to assist them in their journey into employment or further study. Verified digital credentials and the vast opportunities afforded to us through the ARUCC National Network forms an important part of our long-term vision and strategic approach.”

“Today we welcome Bow Valley College to ARUCC's MyCreds™ | MesCertif™ family and are thrilled to support their learner community by making digital credentials easily accessible,” says Joanne Duklas, executive lead, ARUCC. “MyCreds™ | MesCertif™ provides learners with a comprehensive learner wallet and a national, secure digital environment for sharing official, digitized post-secondary badges, micro-credentials, documents, transcripts, and diplomas - anytime, anywhere. Second level verification of a Bow Valley College transcript is no longer required if it comes directly from MyCreds™ | MesCertif™.”

The National Network continues to expand nationwide with new partners welcomed onboard regularly and expressions of interest open to all post-secondary institutions across Canada. To date, close to 40 post-secondary institutions have signed up to this game-changing initiative with numbers continuing to rise as the rollout continues nationally.
