Validity, sending and the IELTS comparison
The requirements page says scores are valid for two years from the exam date and all results must be received as official documentation from the testing institution. It also gives intladmissions@adelphi.edu for submitting exam results. Adelphi accepts TOEFL MyBest scores and the IELTS One Skill Retake, and lists countries where the English test is waived. The page does not set Duolingo subscores or a teaching assistantship level.
Compared with IELTS: Adelphi lists Duolingo 110 alongside IELTS 6.5 on the same page.
