Canvas Credentials is Becoming Parchment Digital Badges On 10/31, Canvas Credentials completes its rebrand Since March 2021, UMBC has issued digital credentials through Canvas Credentials, a platform that allows learners to earn and share verified badges recognizing their achievements. Following Instructure’s acquisition of Parchment, the Canvas Credentials platform is being rebranded to Parchment Digital Badges. 

This update is in name only. The system will continue to function exactly as it does today. You’ll still log in using your same sign-on, and all existing badges, pathways, and workflows will remain unchanged. 

The only visible updates you’ll notice are: 
  • The product name and logo will now display "Parchment Digital Badges" 
  • In limited instances, the Blackboard integration will appear as “Parchment Badges” 
  • The web address may update to a new domain (this change will happen over several weeks) 
Our internal FAQs and support materials will be updated by October 31 to reflect the new branding. 

For questions or assistance, please contact the Digital Credentialing Team at badges@umbc.edu or by placing an RT ticket.
