MyUSI provides informational content through a mechanism called channels. In general, channels provide at-a-glance information with click-throughs to expanded content or Web resources. Channels are similar to the content modules that are aviable on sites such as Netscape.com and Yahoo.com.

Some typical channels that you may see include information like:

• How many appointments are on your calendar
• A preview of the first few messages in your email inbox
• A place to keep bookmarks that is accessible from any computer
• Links USI information
• Access to course schedules or administrative services
