SMU has been issuing electronic versions of degree certificates and official transcripts, known as OpenCerts, to its graduates since 2019. Graduates prior to May 2019 have also been issued their OpenCerts.
OpenCerts are digital documents built on a blockchain-based platform, each carrying a unique, permanent, and immutable cryptographic signature. Any signs of tampering will be detected when the document no longer matches the blockchain data, rendering it unauthentic.
Before you proceed with the download, please take note of the following:
- If you have forgotten your SMU login ID/password, please contact IT Help Centre at helpdesk@smu.edu.sg or call them at (65) 6828 0123.
- As Exchange Students would no longer have access to their SMU login, should they need to request the re-issuance of their OpenCert transcript, please contact the Registrar's Office directly at digitalcert@smu.edu.sg.
- The authenticity of the OpenCerts can be verified by dragging and dropping the file at opencerts.io (Note: Best viewed using Google Chrome). The portal will then indicate if the uploaded document is authentic and if it was originally issued by SMU.
- Save and store the certified OpenCerts immediately, as once they are opened, students will be deemed to have downloaded the digital document(s). Do not lose or misplace them, as any request for reissuance or replacement will be chargeable.
- Any tampering/modification/amendment of the OpenCerts is strictly prohibited. Doing so may constitute forgery and be prosecuted under the law. Students should use the digital document in its original form and format, and not change the file extension of the OpenCerts.
