Test rules and how to send your score
Both pages print the TOEFL reporting code 2652 but no Pearson institution code. Neither mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a validity period.
On the same pages, IELTS is 5.5 for undergraduates and 6 for graduate study, so PTE 46 sits beside IELTS 5.5 and PTE 53 beside IELTS 6.

If you fall short
Undergraduates may apply or be referred for conditional admission through the American Language Institute intensive English programme; completing nine credits in the Bridge program waives the TOEFL or IELTS requirement. For graduate study, conditional admission through the ALI Bridge pathway is only available for select programmes.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your IUP programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
