What TOEFL score do you need for UFV?

The University of the Fraser Valley asks for TOEFL iBT 88 or higher with no section below 20 for its academic degree, diploma and graduate programmes, and accepts the Home Edition. If you score 80 with no section below 19, you meet the level for Qualifying Studies instead. UFV accepts test scores up to two years after the test date.

How UFV handles TOEFL scores

The calendar says test scores are accepted up to two years after the test date. Neither page gives an ETS code or a MyBest rule.

For comparison, the international page asks IELTS Academic 6.5 with a minimum band score of 6.0 for degree, diploma and graduate programmes, and 6.0 with 5.5 for Qualifying Studies; UFV does not accept IELTS Indicator.

TOEFL iBT score reports issued since January 2026 also carry a 1 to 6 band score alongside the 0 to 120 total; see our guide to the new TOEFL score scale. Where a page above gives only a 0 to 120 figure, that is the figure this guide reports.

If your TOEFL score is below UFV's level

If you reach 80 with no section below 19 but not the full degree level, the international page says you meet the minimum for Qualifying Studies, which is UFV's route for students who are not yet at degree or diploma level. ILAC 3.3 PW is also listed as meeting the degree-level requirement.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your UFV programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
