How Stockton handles Duolingo scores
Results must be submitted through the official testing portal by the application deadline. Late results are accepted, but Stockton cannot guarantee it will hold a decision for them.
Stockton does not superscore English tests and gives preference to the most recent score if you send several. It reviews each subscore and may deny admission or recommend ESL if a subscore falls below its recommended minimums. The transfer section states results must not be older than two years.
For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at an overall band of 6.5.

If your Duolingo score is below Stockton's level
The page lists ELS Intensive English level 112 and Cambridge English 176 and above as alternatives to a test score. The requirement is waived for applicants who completed three or more years at an American high school, and for graduates of US regionally accredited, English-medium high schools who earned a B in English Composition I and II.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Stockton programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
