CeCredential Features

A CeCredential can be validated online in one of two ways:

• Digital Signature: All CeCredentials from NC State have been digitally signed and contain special characteristics. When the document is viewed through Adobe Reader or Acrobat versions 9.0 or higher, it will reveal that a Digital Signature has been applied to the document. Adobe Reader and Acrobat use a blue ribbon across the top of the document to indicate document authenticity and validity.

NOTE: MAC users – when viewing an official electronic credential, the software utilizes Adobe’s secure certified PDF technology and therefore may only be viewed using the free Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat 7.0 or higher. The default MAC preview application will not display the document correctly.

• Credential Validation Page: A secondary validation of the electronic credential can also be made using the Credential Validation page. Enter the 12 digit CeDiD found in the upper corner of the CeCredential along with the first name of the alum as it appears on the credential.
