Independent undergraduate universities are a crucial component of China's higher education classification and development system. The digital literacy of students is not only linked to their academic performance but also impacts their lifelong learning ability and future sustainable development. This study employs questionnaire surveys and empirical analysis to investigate the educational environment's impact on students' digital literacy. The sample consists of undergraduates from G-university. The study revealed that students at from G-university do not enrol in enough digital literacy courses. While the computer hardware supply is adequate, network access is insufficient. Additionally, due to a lack of understanding of database search paths and methods, students do not utilise the library's free digital resources. However, teachers of professional courses can provide support and demonstrations to students during the teaching process, which can aid in developing their digital literacy skills. Finally, countermeasures are proposed to enhance the educational environment of digital literacy for students in G-universities. These countermeasures include improving the construction of the digital environment, introducing digital learning resources, and providing differentiated training.
