Ease and Accessibility - The Benefits of My eQuals at The University of Auckland – Waipapa Taumata Rau
The University of Auckland, New Zealand’s largest and most forward-thinking university, has revolutionised its credentialing processes with My eQuals secure digital platform for academic records.
Faced with the demands of over 40,000 students and 10,000 annual graduates, the university needed a solution to modernise workflows, enhance security, and meet evolving expectations.
My eQuals has delivered transformative results, streamlining the issuance of transcripts, certificates, and other academic documents. Once labour-intensive and time-consuming, the process has become efficient, secure, and eco-friendly, setting a benchmark for academic innovation.
Rebecca Hartnett, Team Leader for Graduation and Records, explains:
"We’ve gone from someone standing over a printer for hours to issuing over 36,000 documents in just days. The time-saving is incredible, but even more so is the ease and accessibility it offers our students."
Benefits for the University of Auckland include:
Efficiency: Transcripts that once took weeks are now issued in days, saving hundreds of hours annually.
Security: Credentials are tamper-evident, protecting students and employers from fraud.
Convenience: Instant access to records enhances employability and academic mobility.
Sustainability: A significant reduction in paper use supports environmental goals.
Scalability: Seamless management of increased demand ensures operational excellence.
