Regis English scores
From Regis's international students admissions page, under "Provide Proof of English Proficiency". It gives an overall IELTS score only.
| Programme | IELTS Academic | Other tests |
|---|---|---|
| International applicants | 6.0 | TOEFL iBT 78, Duolingo 105, PTE 53, Cambridge FCE grade B |
Other ways to meet the requirement
Regis also accepts AP English 4, IB English 5, A Level English at B, SAT evidence-based reading and writing 650 or ACT English 27, and Level 6 completion at New America College. A grade of C or better in a college-level English class, or a completed degree, from a regionally accredited US institution also counts.
Citizens of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom do not need to provide proof of English. Admissions may still ask for more evidence or another test.

How to check your score
Scores go directly to the Office of Admissions or can be emailed to your admission counsellor. Regis has no in-house ESL programme, so there is no conditional route on campus.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admission cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Regis programme page and in your admission letter, so check it there before you book a test.
Minimum vs competitive score
Where Regis University publishes an IELTS score, it is the minimum: the floor an application has to meet to be considered, not a score that guarantees an offer.
Competitive programmes, and courses with far more applicants than places, may expect more than the minimum, and some departments set their own overall or per-skill scores, often for writing or speaking. The course page has the final word, so check it before you book a test.
If you are close to the line, aim for a margin above it: one weak skill can miss the requirement even when the overall band clears it. Not sure where you stand? Take a free IELTS mock test and get a band for each skill.
