How SUNY Oneonta handles TOEFL scores

Both pages give TOEFL institution code 2542. The undergraduate page says that while ETS reports scores on both the 0 to 120 and 1 to 6 scales, Oneonta will keep using the 0 to 120 score during the transition period as it collects data on the new scale. Our guide to the new TOEFL score scale explains the 1 to 6 band.

For comparison, the undergraduate page sets IELTS at 6.0 and the graduate page at 6.5 with no sub-score below 6.0.
