Digital Certificates FAQ’s

What can I do on the DC Web Student Portal?

As a learner, you can manage electronic and printed versions of your qualification certificate. This means viewing your electronic copies of your certificates, ordering reprints, sharing online access to employers and other third parties, and reporting any errors.

Is it secure to share my electronic documents with other people?

Yes. We have taken extreme measures to prevent fraud and make it as safe as possible to share your certificates. By revoking access when required and deciding who gets access to your certificates, you have control over exactly who views your certificates, which certificates they see, when they see them and for how long.

How are the electronic documents created?

Upon printing your physical certificate, an electronic version is uploaded to this secure website. Only specific personnel at the University can print or publish these certificates, and security measures are in place to stop anyone else from accessing your certificates. If you notice an error on your certificates, please report it.

What is a digital badge?

A digital badge is an electronic credential which directly links to a qualification obtained by a UJ graduate.

Each graduate can “import” or link their digital badges to their personal LinkedIn accounts for third parties or potential employers to view and verify the qualification issued by clicking on the badge.

This connection validates the legitimacy of the badge for graduates marketing their newly acquired skills or expertise online. Stakeholders, be they potential employers, academic institutions, or other entities, can easily validate the authenticity of the qualification instantly, at no cost!
