Your Digital Credential

Many of our programs are now eligible for a digital credentials! If you have completed an eligible program the steps above will launch your digital credential after clicking Access Credential. You can also access your digital credential directly through the email you received from studentsuccess@ecornell.cornell.edu titled "Congratulations from eCornell" upon completion of your program.

Most eCornell credentials issued after September 1, 2024 will be available as digital credentials. Custom and Enterprise certificates (including the Bank of America Institute for Women’s Entrepreneurship program) are not eligible for digital credentials at this time. If you are part of a Custom or Enterprise program, you can still download your credentials using the first set of instructions above.

Once you launch your digital credential, you will see your earned certificate as well as information about your program including learning outcomes, professional development units, and a summary of your courses.

Toward the top right, click the Print Certificate button to access the PDF of your credential for download or printing. In this same area, you can select Share to copy your credential link or share directly to LinkedIn!

To share your credential with others, click the Share button toward the top-right of your page, and copy the link.

Note: The site address that you see after accessing your credential from your portal is your own personal link. Do not share this link with others; only distribute the link that is available through the Share button.

Printing Recommendations:

To ensure the highest print quality, please follow the guidelines below. For the best result, we suggest using the services of a professional print shop.

  • A full-color laser printer will produce a higher quality print than an inkjet printer.
  • Select the highest possible print quality mode available.
  • Use heavyweight, ivory-colored paper (65# suggested).

PLEASE NOTE: The PDF accessible through your student portal is identical to the file we use for printing your credential. There will not be a substantial difference in quality (no seal, stamp, or hand-signed signatures) between the two versions.
