How Troy handles Duolingo scores
Applicants may submit a PDF copy of their English proficiency results, and Troy verifies the scores directly with the testing agency. Letters about medium of instruction are not accepted for admission.
The help desk article says score requirements are subject to change and asks applicants to confirm current figures with International Admissions. Neither page gives a Duolingo validity period.
For comparison, the admissions page sets IELTS at 5.5 for undergraduates and 6.0 for graduate applicants.

If your Duolingo score is below Troy's level
The help desk article says students can obtain conditional admission without the listed test scores. They must then take an ESL placement test and pass its requirements before starting academic programmes.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Troy programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
