Transferring Your Badges From Credly to Canvas Credentials

Purdue Global will be transitioning its digital badging operations from Credly to Canvas Credentials as of July 1, 2024. 

If you are wanting to transfer your badges you have previously been awarded by Purdue Global on Credly over to your Canvas Credentials Backpack, please follow the instructions below or watch this video.

1. Log into your Credly account using your username (typically your email address on file with Purdue Global) and password.

2.  After logging in, click on the Profile Menu icon in the top right corner and select "Badges."

3.  Choose the badge you wish to transfer from Credly to Canvas Credentials. Once on the badge page, click on the green "Share" button. 

4.  On the badge share page, click "Download Badge Image."

5.  A small "Download" window will pop up. Click the green "Download Image" button. 

6.  The image file will be downloaded and should automatically be saved to your device as a PNG file in your downloads folder.

7.  Log into your Purdue Global Canvas Credentials account using your username and password. 

**Important Note** - In order to transfer a badge from your Credly to your Canvas Credentials account, your email address linked to your Canvas Credentials account must be the same email address as the that email address linked to you Credly account (they should already be the same since the University issues badges to your preferred email address on file). 

8. After logging in,  click on "Backpack" at the top-screen menu bar. Then, click the "Add Badge" button.

9. Under the Badge Award Image section, click the text link that says "Upload New Image." Then, locate and select the badge image file you saved on your device when you downloaded it from Credly.  Next, click the black "Add Badge" button.

10. You should now see the badge in your backpack under the "Newly Added Badges" section.
