How Calvin University handles TOEFL scores
Calvin's institution code is 1095 for both levels. The undergraduate page says English proficiency is considered with the rest of your file and asks you to talk to your admission counsellor about specific cases. The graduate figure is given on the 0 to 120 scale only; new TOEFL reports also carry a 1 to 6 band score, which our guide to the new TOEFL score scale explains.
For comparison, the undergraduate page asks IELTS 6.5, and the graduate page asks 7.0.

If your TOEFL score is below Calvin University's level
Neither page offers conditional admission. Undergraduates can meet the requirement with an ELS level 12 certificate, Duolingo 110, or by attending a US high school for two or more years or a school in a listed English-speaking country. Graduate applicants can also use Duolingo 125.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Calvin programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
