What is OpenCerts?

OpenCerts is a secure, open-source platform used by institutions in Singapore to issue and verify digital certificates. Each certificate is cryptographically protected and anchored on the blockchain, making it tamper-proof and easily verifiable online without exposing personal data. Employers and alumni can confirm authenticity in seconds through the OpenCerts platform, ensuring trust and transparency in academic credentials.

Upon graduation, the degree certificate (both printed and electronic) will reflect only the Primary Major awarded. Where applicable, the completion of a Second Major, Specialisation, and/or Minor, will be reflected in the official academic transcript, which is the University’s complete and permanent record of a student's academic achievements.

Alternatively, you may refer to the steps below: 

	Step 1: Look out for emails sent by Student Records to your SUSS alumni email address (alumni lifelong email address) registered with us - Example: [email protected]. You would have received a separate email for the e-transcript and e-certificate. For access or reset of password to your alumni lifelong email account, please email your full name, date of birth and PI number to [email protected].
	Step 2: Download the attachment from the email. The OpenCerts file is inside the attachment. Extract or move the file to another location (eg Desktop). Do not double-click on the file.
	Step 3: A window should pop out, prompting you to enter the password.  Your password is the last 3 digits and alphabet of your NRIC, followed by your date and month of birth in DDMmm format, e.g. 123A01Jan. For alumni from the July 2023 semester onwards, your password is your NRIC number, e.g. S1234567A.
