How to Log In to TES

This article provides instructions for how to log in to TES®, the Transfer Evaluation System.

TES Administrators must establish user accounts for all faculty and staff who will have access to TES. While CollegeSource creates the institution's first Administrator account, all other accounts are created and managed by the subscribing college or university. Inquiries regarding the status of user accounts should be directed to the campus office that manages TES; this is often the Registrar's or Admissions Office.

Log In

To log in to TES:

1. Go to tes.collegesource.com.
2. Select Log In.
3. Once the login page appears, within the Username field, enter the email address associated with the account.
4. Enter the account Password in the noted field.

5. Select Log In.

Multifactor Authentication (MFA)

Multifactor authentication – also known as “MFA” or "two-factor authentication" – protects a user’s account - and the data within - from unauthorized access if the user’s password becomes stolen or compromised. It does so by introducing a second verification step to confirm the user’s identity. This additional means of authentication will be required every time a user logs into TES® unless the individual chooses to disable two-factor authentication for the next 45 days (see steps below).

Verification Code

After logging into TES®, users will receive a prompt indicating that CollegeSource sent a one-time verification code to the individual’s registered email.

To continue logging into TES:

1. Check the email associated with the TES account.
2. Look for an email from tes@collegesource.com with the subject "TES: Your Verification Code."
3. Enter the six-digit verification code into the Code from Email box.
   • The verification code will expire 10 minutes after the email is sent.
     • Select Resend Code if needed.

Disable Two-Factor Authentication for 45 Days

4. Users can disable two-factor authentication for the next 45 days by marking the same-named checkbox. In doing so, two-factor authentication will not be required for the next 45 days when logging into TES.
   • If not selected, two-step verification is required again upon the next login.
5. Select Submit.

Upon submission, users will be redirected to either the individual's default home page or the main TES home page.

Troubleshooting

If experiencing difficulty logging into TES:

• Select the Forgot your password? link under the Log in button to request a password reset.
• TES requires that users enable cookies.
  • See Enable Cookies for more information; the process for enabling cookies is different for each browser.
