The students will have to have their user names and passwords to gain access to the portal. Therefore, all students must register and open an account before commencing studies at the university.

Uses of UNAM Student Portal and Moodle LMS

The university mentioned that as part of the remote Learning and Teaching strategy of the University, these two platforms (student portal and LMS Moodle) will complement each other.
