Accept your badge through Credly

Once you complete all of the requirements for a digital badge, you will be awarded a digital badge through Credly, the platform used by Kansas State University for issuing and earning digital badges.

You will be notified via email that your badge is available. To immediately share your badge, click on "Accept your Badge" within that email. You will be directed to Credly’s login page. Create an account using your email address.

Once logged in, you will see your badge and the evidence for which you earned it. To share, click on the "share" button and select the social media platform(s) of your choice. You will be prompted to allow Credly to access to your social media account(s) to post your badge.

Congratulations, you have earned a digital badge from K-State! Digital badges are credentials that you own, so you can decide how you want to share them.
