How Saint Leo handles Duolingo scores
Saint Leo describes one path for every applicant, on campus, undergraduate or graduate, with the same English bands. A medium of instruction letter is also accepted.
The page gives no Duolingo validity period or subscore rule.
For comparison, the same international page sets IELTS 6.0 for direct entry and 5.5 to 6.0 for the Bridge Pathway.

If your Duolingo score is below Saint Leo's level
If you score 90 to 104 you are still admitted. The Bridge Program helps you build academic reading, writing and communication skills while you take your first Saint Leo classes. The page gives no route for scores below 90.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Saint Leo programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
