Digital Documents

What is Digitary CORE? 

Digitary CORE is a third-party service The University of Manchester uses to publish and hold our graduates’ official digital documents. The service is not owned by The University of Manchester. The University of Manchester issues the documents but the graduate is signing up with Digitary CORE. 

Digitary CORE helps graduates: 

  • Securely receive digitally certified, official documents online 

  • Share academic documents with third parties and make it easier for them to verify academic achievements 

 

What documents are available on Digitary CORE?

Access will depend on the specifics of your award and your graduation year. Please check what documents you should already have available below: 

  • Digital Certificate for eligible graduates 

  • Official Digital Transcript for eligible courses 

  • HEAR Document (Higher Education Achievement Report) – This document is a supplement to the transcript and it containsadditional details (e.g. ECTS credits) and will include any prizes and additional activities the school have issued on their campus record 

  • European Diploma Supplement (The HEAR document replaced the European Diploma supplement, but older graduates may have this available from when it was issued in the past)
