how do I get my course equivalencies which are currently in my system (Banner, DARS, RedLantern, PeopleSoft, etc.) into TES?
 
You can export from your system to a flat .txt file (tab or verticle pipe "|" delimited). We'll import them.

The export specifications looks very similar to the import spec.

The specification is a .txt file (tab or vertical pipe "|" delimited) with column names in the first row. Here's the column list and I'll describe it a little further below.

Hopefully our FICE codes will match yours but there's no guarantee. We'll try to find them all. The institution name and city help with that part of the process. We can generate an exception list upon import I believe.

Let's plot some points. If you have BIO 101 from another school coming in to your BIOL 1 course, that would be:

SendCourseCode1 SendCourseCode2 ReceiveCourseCode1 ReceiveCourseCode2
BIO 101   BIOL 1  


The other send courses and receive courses for that record/line will be blank.

In the case where there is a group of courses like send courses BIO 101 and BIO 101L transferring to your BIOL 1 course only, that would be:

SendCourseCode1 SendCourseCode2 ReceiveCourseCode1 ReceiveCourseCode2
BIO 101 BIO 101L BIOL 1  


The other send courses and receive courses for that record/line will be blank including "ReceiveCourseCode2".

You would need to create any fictitious courses in TES in advance (generic electives) as "user added" courses. For more info on "user added" courses, watch the "user added courses" movie in our movies section here.
