3. Under names, click the 'plus' (+) button  
4. Update the 'First Name' field, and select save 

If you have any questions or need assistance completing these steps, contact the Student Service Centre.

Official transcripts from NAIT are issued and accessed through MyCreds™, a secure digital transcript sharing platform. Transcripts are requested online through your MyNAIT portal:

• Select Open Self Service
• Choose Academic Records, then Request Official Transcript

When your transcript is ready in 1-2 business days, you will receive an email confirmation from MyCreds™ to access your document. You will be able to purchase MyCreds™ share credits ($16 plus tax per share, non-refundable) to share your transcripts with organizations, such as post-secondaries or employers), quickly and securely. You can learn more on the Ordering Transcripts page.

For alumni who attended NAIT prior to 2000 and have not returned since, or are former Fairview College or Westerra students, they will need to request their transcript to be uploaded to MyCreds™ using the online Contact Form. Select topic ‘Academic Records’, and subcategory ‘Official Transcripts on Mycreds’. Due to the historical nature of these transcripts, they cannot be ordered in person. 

Apprentices must request their transcripts through Alberta Apprenticeship and Industry Training. 

If your parchment is damaged, lost or destroyed and you would like to request a duplicate, please submit the request for replacement form. 

Parchments will be mailed 6-8 weeks following the end of your final term. Make sure your first name, last name and mailing address listed on your MyNAIT profile is up to date so your parchment is sent to the correct address. 

If you do not receive your parchment within the standard timeframe, please contact the Student Service Centre for assistance. Often, the parchment is returned to NAIT due to an outdated or incorrect mailing address.

NAIT will keep parchments for 6 months from the date they were returned. 

You can access a confirmation of enrolment letter through your MyNAIT Portal by clicking open self service, then manage classes followed by confirmation of enrolment.   

If this letter is not sufficient, you can submit a request for a confirmation of enrolment letter using this contact form. Please select Current Course/Program > Transcripts, Parchments, Letters > Official Letter Request.

After your final grades have been posted on your final transcripts, it takes approximately six weeks for the Registrar’s Office to review and confirm program completion. Once this has been completed, please allow for at least two more weeks for the credential notation to be added to your transcript. 

If you have concerns about your eligibility to graduate, please contact your program office

For degree, diploma, and certificate students, your GGPA is calculated using only the courses required to satisfy the program requirements. If you retake a course, only the highest grade will be included in the GGPA calculation. Your GGPA determines your eligibility for graduation (minimum GGPA of 2.0 or higher) and for honours standing (minimum 3.7 GGPA or higher).

When calculating your GGPA, it is based on the first decimal point and will not be rounded. This maintains consistency and fairness in evaluating academic achievements. Therefore, the GPA displayed on your transcript will be the exact calculation, without any rounding adjustments. For example, a GGPA calculated at 2.786 will be shown as 2.7.

Refer to the how to calculate your GPA for detailed step-by-step instructions.

A digital badge is evidence of your micro-credential and comes in the form of an emblem. It contains meta-data that includes your name, the name of the issuing institution (NAIT), the name of the microcredential, and in some cases an expiry date. 

NAIT micro-credentials are earned by demonstrating learning outcomes or competencies through participation in specific courses and assessments.

Once you have completed your course, you will receive an email from MyCreds with instructions on how to download your digital badge. Since the badges are digital, they can be easily shared on your personal social media accounts (such as LinkedIn), displayed on your online resume or included as part of your email signature. 

MyCreds is one of the most trusted digital badge distribution platforms. Their end-to-end solution is used for creating, issuing and managing digital badges. MyCreds is used by many post-secondary institutions and organizations across the world. 

Yes. A learner can complete individual micro-credentials and combine or stack them towards earning a certificate or diploma.
