How SUNY Oneonta handles Duolingo scores

Neither page gives a Duolingo validity period or subscore rule. Freshman applicants who attended a US high school submit SAT or ACT scores instead, and some transfer students with US college study are exempt.

For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS at 6.0 and the graduate page 6.5 with no subscore below 6.0, per SUNY Oneonta.

Completing ELS Level 112 is accepted at both levels; enclose the ELS certificate with your application or send it on completion.
