How Colorado Mesa handles TOEFL scores

The undergraduate page says all scores must be electronically verifiable and that medium of instruction certificates are not accepted. It notes subject minimums for Reading and Writing but does not state the figures. The graduate catalog asks for TOEFL or IELTS scores from within two years and tells you to check whether your programme requires a specific test or score.

For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS at Band 6, again with Reading and Writing subject minimums.

If your TOEFL score is below Colorado Mesa's level

The undergraduate page says evidence from other English proficiency tests is reviewed case by case. It does not describe conditional admission.

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