1. what is TES?
 
Central to TES is an exhaustive course description database. The database contains complete course details, including course code, course title, description and number of credits. TES also encompasses a suite of tools specifically aimed at automating and streamlining educational business processes. These processes include; analysis of transfer courses and transcripts, the administration and maintenance of course equivalencies, communication of course data between staff, users and faculty.
 
2. what is course finder?
 
Course Finder allows you to quickly navigate the course description database. Once you have identified a course(s) you have the ability to print or email the course description(s). Additionally, you can research your institution's course inventory for possible equivalents by using a keyword search utility.
 
3. what is a course list report?
 
A Course List Report allows you to create a custom report containing any course descriptions that you select. It can contain courses from multiple institutions and from multiple academic years.
 
4. what is an equivalency report?
 
An Equivalency Report utilizes course equivalency relationships created with the Equivalency Manager. It lists courses that have been added to a course list report, maps them to the data set you choose, and then generates a report.

Equivalency Manager allows you to create and manage course equivalency relationships between your course inventory and another institution. The equivalency relationships are shared between all members/users of your account.
