Join the largest credential exchange in the world
When it comes to exchanging credentials quickly and securely, bigger really is better. Parchment is the only all-in-one credentialing platform, empowering users to issue, collect, and process credentials across 4 major regions worldwide.
Keep student information private and secure
The privacy and security of learners’ information comes first. Parchment’s global security protocols and standards are second to none, allowing users to exchange and verify credentials with confidence.
For years RMIT University has been utilising My eQuals – the official tertiary credentials platform in Australia and New Zealand, powered by Parchment – for digitally certifying and issuing official digital Transcripts, Testamurs, AHEGS, VE Qualifications and Statements of Attainment. As a result, the university issues these official academic documents almost instantly after completion and conferral. An immediate and ongoing benefit has been the reduction in issuing time, previously taking over a month to delivery paper credentials, especially for international students.
“All of our questions were answered along the journey to implementation to ensure all of our compliance and regulatory obligations were met whilst maintaining an optimum student and staff experience.”
Connie Merlino, Academic Registrar at RMIT University
