How Indiana State handles TOEFL scores

Official TOEFL scores go to code 1322 directly from the testing centre, and applicants may also email scores for verification. Scores must be two years old or less by the first day of class for the first term of enrolment. The university reserves the right to make individual exceptions and use other tests case by case.

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.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6 for undergraduates, 6.5 for Business majors and 6.5 for graduate applicants.

If your TOEFL score is below Indiana State's level

Completing ELS Level 112, IU Level 6, The Language Company Level 9 or another listed intensive English level also meets the requirement. Citizens of exempt countries, and applicants with 24 (undergraduate) or 30 (graduate) transferable credits from an exempt country, do not need a test.

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