If your TOEFL score is below Augusta University's level

Neither page offers conditional admission, but both accept completion of an approved University System of Georgia campus-based ESL programme in place of a test score. Undergraduates can also qualify with 480 on SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing or 17 on ACT English.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Augusta University programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
