Owned by David Dean
Dec 28, 2022

The Capital Campus portal and Chrome River now require two-factor authentication with your TESU account.

This requirement applies whether or not you're using MFA for your njstatelib.org account. Even if you are using MFA on your njstatelib.org account, you'll still need to complete the steps below.

These steps DO NOT set up MFA on your njstatelib.org account. This TESU enrollment is completely separate.


Before you start

You have 4 options for 2FA on your TESU account. Please take a moment now to review them and decide which you'd like to use.

  1. Authenticator app on a personal cell phone
  2. Text message to a personal cell phone
  3. Phone call to a personal phone
  4. Phone call to your work phone number

If you would prefer to not use a personal device or phone number, use option #4.

If you have questions, please contact the HelpDesk at helpdesk@njstatelib.org or https://helpdesk.njstatelib.org/
