Digital Credential Center
Academic Document Authentication and Delivery Service from CollegeNET
Helping Chinese Students Apply For Admission to US Colleges
The Digital Credential Center from CollegeNET is a secure and reliable web-based service for authenticating and
electronically transmitting academic credentials. Through this service, Chinese students applying for admission to
US colleges and universities can electronically request their transcripts and other academic documents and have
them delivered electronically to the US institutions to which they are applying. The Digital Credential Center
provides submitted records and Academic Credential Verification Reports to all licensed US institutions for the
purpose of authenticating their applicants’ credentials. Created and hosted by CollegeNET, and piloted with
Stanford Graduate School and the Ministry of Education in China, the service is the safest, fastest, and most
reliable method for international document transmission.
US Institutions Prefer the Digital Credential Center Because:
• They can trust the source and authenticity of every academic document they receive
• Electronic documents arrive faster and are easier to process than paper documents sent via international
postal service
• Reduced manual processing saves administrative time and expense and eliminates errors
Your Students Benefit From the Digital Credential Center Because:
• Officially authenticated credentials make their application materials more trustworthy
• They avoid the cost of international certified mailing as well as risks of postal delays and lost documents
• Once credentials are authenticated, they can be electronically accessed by all licensed US institutions the
student selects
