Important Update
A new change is coming to how you access and share your official documents through MyCreds.
MyCreds is our Learner User Portal that helps learners access and share their digitally certified records online with employers, education providers, governments, and other third parties.
Beginning August 1, 2025, there will be a $15 fee each time you request and send your digital document to an external institution, employer, or other third party through MyCreds.
This change aligns with standard practices across Canadian institutions and ensures we can continue providing a secure, convenient, and reliable service.
The $25 transcript fee charged in the first semester of your program covers the cost of issuing your official transcript outlining your academic record at Sheridan as well as your credential upon completion of your program. This is a one-time fee per program.
MyCreds helps learners:
- Securely receive digitally certified, official documents online 24/7.
- Share academic documents with third parties.
- Make it easier for employers and others to verify academic achievements.
- View and share your documents via MyCreds anytime.
Thank you for your understanding as we continue to enhance the way you manage your academic records.
MyCreds™ is Canada’s new, official virtual credential wallet for post-secondary learners and graduates. The MyCreds™ platform integrates with myStudent Centre offering a streamlined user experience for all students and alumni to request and share their transcript with other educational institutions, employers or other third-party organisations securely and conveniently.
