How Regent handles Duolingo scores

All Regent students must be proficient in English; international students from countries where English is not the primary language take TOEFL iBT, PTE Academic, Duolingo or IELTS. Regent says the minimums were set to ensure students have the language needed to succeed in classes.

English proficiency exam scores are valid for two years after the test date. The page gives no subscore rule.

For comparison, the same international page sets IELTS at 7.0.

If your Duolingo score is below Regent's level

The page does not describe conditional admission. The exam may be waived for non-native speakers with a degree or diploma from a postsecondary institution in an English-speaking country, or two years of postsecondary study taught in English.

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