Degree verification

Employers and Other Third-Parties

McMaster University has partnered with AuraData, Canada’s online education verification system for the purposes of verifying Undergraduate and Graduate degree completion status of McMaster University graduates for employers and other external parties. For degree verification please visit the AuraData website. Please note: AuraData verifies Doctor of Medicine degrees but does not verify Internships, Residency, or Post Doctoral Fellowships in the field of Medicine. These must be verified through the Michael G. DeGroote School of Medicine. AuraData verification is not available for post graduate and undergraduate certificates.

If you require a student to provide a letter of enrolment, they may request/produce a letter through the Mosaic Student Centre. This is only available the week after a convocation ceremony.

Student Services will continue to process requests through Auradata as available. Learn more about processing timelines.
