e-Scrolls and e-Transcripts

blue 3




NUS issues self-verifiable electronic (e-) degree scrolls/graduate diplomas and official transcripts, also known as OpenCerts, to the following cohorts:
  • First Degrees (Bachelor): those admitted from August 2005 onwards
  • Higher Degrees (Graduate Diploma, Master, and Doctoral): those admitted from August 2004 onwards
Note: OpenCerts are not issued to graduates from the Joint Degree Programmes currently.

To verify graduates with no OpenCerts, in particular those conferred/awarded before March 2006, please click here.

With OpenCerts,
  • Graduates need not request for additional transcripts or certified hardcopies of their degree scrolls any longer.
  • Graduates can simply share the digital files with third parties such as their prospective employers or other institutes of higher learning together with their applications.
  • The recipient may easily verify the e-documents using the viewer at Verify NUS OpenCerts webpage or the OpenCerts website.

More information on OpenCerts can be found here. You may also refer to our FAQs here.
