The two outside columns are for small boxes. Moodle calls them blocks. Blocks can be interactive, or they can contain useful and important information. The third, center column allows for viewing of the entire site. 2) Student Panel (SIS) The student panel is accessible at sis-usw.unicaf.org and provides students with an easy-to-use interface for managing important student tasks such as: My page Modules Student Finance Transcript Feedback Suggestion Box Help Services 2.1) Student Panel (SIS) Login This section offers guidance with the process of signing in to the Student Panel (SIS) account ) Definitions Username: It is the personal address used to register with us.
