July 2025 Update:

MyCreds™ | MesCertif™; a trusted, secure digital network for sharing verified documents globally — has arrived at York University!

York University is pleased to join the Association of Registrars of the Universities & Colleges of Canada (ARUCC) National Network as an early adopter of a digital credential network branded as MyCreds™. Through MyCreds™, we will now issue official documents such as confirmation of enrolment and verification of graduation letters.

What is MyCreds™?

MyCreds™ provides fast and easy access to request and send your transcripts, graduation letters, diplomas and official academic documents to academic institutions, employers, government offices and more, anytime, anywhere.

Please note that some letters, once uploaded to MyCreds™, will have an expiry date of 60 days.
