Completing ELI Level 4 meets the undergraduate requirement and ELI Level 6 the graduate requirement. Transfer students with at least 24 credit hours from accredited US institutions may be exempt, as may graduate applicants with an accredited US bachelor's.

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