Parchment (formerly Digitary Core) is an online secure document platform to enable students and alumni to access a certified and secure electronic copy of academic documents (e.g. exam results letters, Grade Mailers, European Diploma supplement, parchment). It also will enable students and graduates to send links to others (e.g. employers) for secure verification.
For students studying on a campus in Waterford, a digital version of your parchment is available via Parchment Digitary Services from 2020 onwards. For students studying on a Carlow, Wicklow or Wexford campuses, digital parchments are not yet available. We anticipate that this service will be introduced in the coming months for those who Graduate from the 2025-2026 Academic year.
You will find helpful information on how to access your information and some solutions to any issues you may encounter in our Parchment FAQ.
