Frequently asked questions
Can I verify that someone is affiliated with UCN?
Yes. UCN participates in WAYF, which shares academic identity providers through eduGAIN. Users prove their affiliation by signing in with their UCN account via SAML single sign-on — no document uploads, no passwords, no identity data stored on Studid.
