Students who have completed all programme requirements and have been conferred/ awarded their degrees/graduate diplomas from 31 March 2006 onwards, specifically for those were admitted from 2005 (first degree holders) and 2004 (higher degree holders), have been issued with e-degree scrolls and e-transcripts (in the form of an OpenCerts* data file), a copy of which is also deposited into the Skills Passport of their MySkillsFuture account.
*Note: OpenCerts is a blockchain-based platform that enables the issuance and verification of certificates and transcripts that are tamper-proof.
To verify the authenticity of the OpenCerts data file, just drag and drop it into the viewer on the OpenCerts website or the Verify NUS OpenCerts webpage. If the file can be successfully opened in the viewer on the website (which will be transformed into readable degree scroll and transcript), with no error message being displayed, then the file is verified as authentic
You may refer to the FAQs for more information.
