Online Credentials Manager

What is Credentials Management?

University Career Services Credentials Management is a partnership with Interfolio, Inc. allowing students, alumni and faculty to create an electronic credentials file to manage your important credentials online. Your file can include letters of recommendation, curriculum vitae, writing samples, dissertation abstracts, teaching certifications, student evaluations, and more. The confidentiality of all items contained in your file is under your control.

Once you sign up and upload your documents, the application process becomes as simple as telling us where you want to apply and when. We do all the work! Information from your credential file may be delivered via mail, email, or electronic transfer to a receiving institution.
