How to Share your Digital Transcript through MyCreds™

There are many ways you can share your transcripts. Whichever method you choose will allow the recipient to always see the most updated version of your transcript, so you do not need to re-share your transcript if it has been updated.

We recommend sharing it using the Organisation option for optimal processing times, and this way if any update is made to your transcript, you won't need to do anything because they will be notified automatically in their inbox.

If the organisation is not listed as a "registered organisation", you can still share your transcript with them by using one of the following options: Email or Public on the web Securely or Public on the web.

Note: The link generated by the Public on the web Securely or Public on the web options will point to the most updated version of your transcript, however, the recipient won't be notified when updates are made. You must manually notify the recipient or share it again.
