Why We Verify Your Identity

Financial aid fraud has become a major threat in higher education, putting both students and universities at risk of serious financial harm. At Unity Environmental University, we believe protecting our students goes beyond compliance. It’s about ensuring your safety and peace of mind.

That’s why Unity requires identity verification for all online students. This proactive measure helps confirm that every student is who they say they are, safeguarding personal information, protecting financial aid, and maintaining a secure learning environment for everyone.
