How Quinnipiac handles Duolingo scores
Undergraduates whose native language is not English must submit scores from one of Quinnipiac's accepted tests. Duolingo is accepted but is not one of the three tests the page marks as preferred.
Graduate applicants from non-English-speaking countries must provide an official English proficiency test report. Neither page states a Duolingo validity period or subscore rule.
For comparison, the undergraduate page and the graduate page both set IELTS at 6.5.

If your Duolingo score is below Quinnipiac's level
Graduate applicants can submit successful completion of ELS Level 112 instead of an English test. Undergraduates who studied entirely in English through secondary school may request a waiver by email, though Quinnipiac still recommends sending a score. Neither page describes conditional admission.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Quinnipiac programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
