How La Salle handles TOEFL scores

The page does not give a TOEFL institution code, section minimums or a validity period.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduate students.

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 La Salle's level

The page does not describe conditional admission. Undergraduates are exempt if English is their native language, they studied in an English-based curriculum for three or more years, or they are from a territory where English is official; US transfer students who do not meet these can contact Admissions.

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