What is a transcript?
Transcripts are an official copy of a student's academic record. These credentials can be shared with third parties and are issued digitally through the MyCreds™ network.* Printed transcripts are available by special request.
*By requesting a digital transcript, you authorize Dalhousie University to share your data with MyCreds™.
About the MyCreds™ network
MyCreds™ offers secure, cryptographically signed electronic transcripts requiring no further verification. Once issued in MyCreds™, you can share your transcript on demand 24/7 to institutions, employers, and other organizations by purchasing share credits. When your transcript is available in your digital wallet, you can also track your digital transcript to confirm that the organization you have sent it to has received it.
Dalhousie University and The University of King's College officially joined the network on July 6, 2023.
