How to accept and share your MyCreds.ca Micro-credential Badge

1. When a badge has been issued to you, you will receive an email from MyCreds.ca requesting that you register and create an account.

2. To begin click on the “Register” button.

3. You will be directed to the MyCreds.ca page. Please enter your first name and last name. Your email address is pre-populated in the email address field. You must be able to access the email address listed on this page to receive the activation email. If the email address listed is not correct, please contact us at cplhelp@humber.ca

Please note: Your email address is very important to the account set up process, be sure to double check that it is correct before clicking the “submit” button.

4. Enter a password that you would like to use for your new MyCreds.ca account. Then check “I’m not a robot” and select “Yes, I agree to the End user terms and Privacy policy” checkbox and click the “Submit” button.

5. MyCreds.ca will send an activation email that contains a verification code to your email address listed in step 3.

6. Go to your email inbox and copy the verification code from the activation email.

7. Return to the MyCreds.ca “Thank you for registering” page and paste the verification code into the verification code field. Click the “Next” button to continue.

8. A green box appears with the message: “Thank you for registering your account. Your account has now been activated and you can login using your email and password”.

9. Enter your email address and password, then click the “Sign in” button.

10. You have now successfully logged into the MyCreds.ca Portal. You can view and share your badges from here.

Please note: If you have other MyCreds.ca documents previously issued, you may need to click the “Badges” icon from the top menu to view your Badges Backpack.

11. Click on the badge to view details about your badge such as the learning description, learning outcomes, etc.

12. Click the “Share” button located below the Badge image to generate a link that will allow you to share the badge on social media platforms and LinkedIn.

13. Since you now have a MyCreds.ca profile, you can click on your name icon in the upper right corner to view, update, and change your profile settings. You can also add additional email accounts, educational providers, and social networks.

14. If you have multiple MyCreds.ca accounts with different email addresses or educational providers, click the “LINK ANOTHER EMAIL” button on the Account Settings page to merge them into one account. This will let you view all of your badges and digital parchments in one convenient location.

If you are currently using an institutional email address (i.e. n01000000@humber.ca) we recommend adding an additional personal email address to your profile, as many institutions disable email address once a student graduates. This will ensure you can access your badges and other official documents on MyCreds.ca for years to come.
