How D'Youville handles TOEFL scores

The page says scores must be less than two years old at the time of admission and must be sent directly to D'Youville from the testing agency, using score code 2197. It does not list a MyBest or Home Edition policy.

For comparison, the undergraduate table sets IELTS Reading and Writing at 6.0 each, and the graduate table sets Reading 6.5 and Writing 6.0.

TOEFL iBT score reports issued since January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score alongside the 0 to 120 total; see our guide to the new TOEFL score scale. Where a page above gives only a 0 to 120 figure, that is the figure this guide reports.

If your TOEFL score is below D'Youville's level

The page lists ACT English or SAT scores as possible alternatives, to be discussed with an admissions counsellor, and accepts the Duolingo English Test only when no other test is available. 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 D'Youville programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
