How Oral Roberts handles Duolingo scores

Proof of English is required if English is not your country's official language. The checklist says to send Duolingo results via Duolingo; TOEFL scores use ORU's code 6552. It gives no Duolingo validity period or subscore rule.

For comparison, the same checklist sets IELTS at 6.0.

If your Duolingo score is below Oral Roberts' level

The checklist does not describe conditional admission or an ESL pathway. GaoKao English of 115 is listed as another way to show proficiency.

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