If your PTE score falls short

Graduate students admitted with a test score must take the English Placement Test (EPT) before registering, and may have to take ENG 119 or ENG 107 in their first semester, per the graduate page. The graduate bulletin describes English proficiency conditional admission through ACE-G or the ELC, but gives the qualifying ranges for TOEFL, IELTS, Duolingo and ELS only, with no PTE range.

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