Full analysis
Overview
The website is the UNIGRANDE university portal, presenting undergraduate and postgraduate courses, online, flexible, and in-person study modalities, admissions routes, tuition information, student services, institutional material, and contact facilities for prospective and current students.
Scam/Impersonation Risk
No contradictions were observed. The site’s content is internally consistent with a higher-education institution: it provides course catalogues, admissions through online examinations and ENEM results, academic services, an ombuds function, diploma consultation, and enrollment-related contact forms. Technical and external reputation checks found no malicious or suspicious detections, phishing indication, brand-impersonation pattern, or confirmed abuse signal. The domain’s established registration period further supports continuity, although the real-world operator identity remains independently unverified.
- Homepage: identifies “UNIGRANDE – Centro Universitário” and presents course catalogues, admissions routes, study modalities, and institutional services.
- Academic and institutional pages: provide student portals, online secretariat functions, diploma consultation, institutional history, privacy policy, and ombuds information.
- Domain registration: registered 2019-02-18 and approximately 7.48 years old.
- External reputation assessment: 0 malicious detections, 0 suspicious detections, and no phishing or brand-impersonation finding.
Regulatory Verification Notes
The website provides substantial institutional and operational information, including educational modalities, course categories, tuition and admissions content, privacy information, and formal student-support functions. The supplied pages do not state a specific licensing or registration number, so the institution’s regulatory standing should be confirmed through the relevant Brazilian education authority before a material enrollment or payment decision. This is a disclosure and verification gap, not evidence of scam activity. The site’s apparent institutional identity is supported by its content, but independent connection to the real-world operator is not established by the available evidence.
- Institutional pages: describe the university’s history, educational proposal, technical team, social responsibility activities, and internal evaluation commission.
- Admissions and course pages: show bachelor’s, licentiate, and technologist offerings across Virtual+, Flex+, and presencial modalities, with tuition-related information.
- Hosting infrastructure: served from AS8075, Microsoft Corporation, United States.
- Transport security: TLS certificate issued by GeoTrust TLS RSA CA G1 with DV validation, valid to 2026-12-10 23:59:59 UTC.
What to Verify Next
Before credential or payment interactions, confirm the institution’s current legal and educational authorization through the applicable official education registry, and independently confirm that enrollment, tuition, refund, and cancellation terms correspond to the intended institution. Contact details should also be validated through an independent institutional or offline channel, particularly for payment instructions or changes to enrollment arrangements.
- Admissions pages: provide the enrollment routes and should be checked against the current official admissions process.
- Course pages: present modalities, course types, and tuition information that should be reconciled with the enrollment agreement.
- Privacy, institutional, and student-service pages: provide the named operational areas to use when validating official procedures.
Summary Verdict
The overall posture is high trust and low risk, and the available evidence is consistent with an established, apparently legitimate university website. The classification is strong for routine browsing and ordinary institutional use, while the operator’s real-world identity should not be treated as independently proven.
Infrastructure Integrity
The site is protected by CDN/WAF infrastructure, with the observed edge address 20.206.176.0 hosted on AS8075 by Microsoft Corporation; the origin server was not observable. This arrangement is a mitigating control because it reduces direct exposure of the origin, but it is not proof of institutional legitimacy.
Closing Assessment
Normal research and routine enrollment-related interaction are proportionate, provided that independent checks of institutional identity, current enrollment terms, and payment protections are completed before credentials or funds are submitted.

About this assessment
A trust score summarises the evidence TrustSniffer could collect about unigrande.edu.br at assessment time. It is a starting point for your own judgement, not a guarantee: a high score means the signals were consistent with a legitimately operated site, a low or critical score means several risk patterns were present.
TrustSniffer assesses a website from the evidence it can collect at a point in time: domain registration and age, hosting and certificate, the content the site served, and third-party reputation feeds. A score is a summary of that evidence, not a guarantee and not a legal finding. There is no human rating and no user review in it. A site can change after it is assessed.
