How Green River handles TOEFL scores

Green River accepts MyBest and TOEFL ITP, but not TOEFL Essentials. Test scores stay valid for two years from the exam date up to the application date; students who defer two or more times and whose test expires may be asked to take a placement exam. Institutional TOEFL scores of 500 or higher are accepted only from listed schools such as EF, ELS and Kaplan International. Send official scores to code 4337.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 5.5 with no band lower than 5.0, and accepts One Skill Retake.

If your TOEFL score is below Green River's level

Students who have not met English proficiency begin with Intensive English classes, and all IEP students take a diagnostic test in the first week to set their final level. Completing all Level 5 Intensive English Academic Preparation classes meets the requirement, and students must begin academic study within two quarters of finishing.

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