What is TBR CRED:

TBR CRED is the Digital Credential Record System for the College System of Tennessee. It offers a comprehensive, verifiable record of a learner’s skills, achievements, and experiences—both in and beyond the classroom.

Unlike a traditional transcript, TBR CRED showcases the full picture of a student’s educational journey, helping learners, institutions, and employers better communicate the value of skills and learning outcomes.

What Does It Contain?

  • Program level competencies mastered
  • High Impact Practices (e.g., undergraduate research, service learning, study abroad)
  • Co-curricular activities and achievements
