How to add student ID to Catalog certificate

[aleisha_jade]

We would like to be able to include a student's unique Canvas ID on their certificate (or another kind of unique ID) to mitigate risk around fraudulent certificates.

Does anyone know if this is possible and, if so, how to go about doing this?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, there is no way to do this since there isn't an identifier for the Canvas ID in Catalog. 

These are the only ones that are available:

Is this still the case? The ability to include the Canvas/User ID would be of tremendous help for verification purposes.

@LNS Here is what is available:

• student_name: The name of the student
• catalog_name: The name of the school or institution
• catalog_logo: The URL of your catalog logo. Usage: <img src="{{catalog_logo}}" />
• award_name: The name of the certificate
• completion_date: The date of completion
• expiration_date: The date the certificate expires
• credits: The credits, points, or CEUs awarded to the student.
