How Memorial handles Duolingo scores
The undergraduate page says the test must be taken within two years before you apply and be verifiable with the provider. Final results go into the admissions portal. Graduate applicants upload their score report in the application portal as "Grad Proof of English Proficiency".
For comparison, the undergraduate page asks for IELTS Academic 6.5 with at least 6 in reading and writing, and the graduate page sets IELTS 6.5 (7 for higher-requirement programmes).

Graduate applicants who do not yet meet the requirement may be considered for conditional admission pending completion of the Intensive English Program at Grenfell Campus.
