Spring Hill English scores
From Spring Hill's international student admissions page, which covers freshmen and transfers. It gives an overall IELTS score only.
| Programme | IELTS Academic | Other tests |
|---|---|---|
| Freshman | 6.0 | TOEFL 71, Duolingo 105 |
| Transfer | 6.0 | TOEFL 71, Duolingo 105 |
Who needs a test
Freshmen need proof of English unless their high school instruction was in English for the entire time they were in high school. Transfer students need proof unless their instruction was in English. Spring Hill names TOEFL, IELTS and Duolingo as the accepted tests.
The page mentions PTE but does not give a minimum score, so confirm with admissions before relying on it. Spring Hill's test code is 1733.

Other documents and how to check
Freshmen send a counsellor or teacher recommendation, official secondary records with certified English translations, a passport copy and proof of funds for the first year. Transfers with fewer than 20 college credit hours also send secondary records.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admission cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Spring Hill programme page and in your admission letter, so check it there before you book a test.
Minimum vs competitive score
Where Spring Hill College 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.
