How UGM handles Duolingo scores

Both pages list Duolingo as one accepted English certificate, uploaded with the application. The Civil and Environmental Engineering page says selection is by desk evaluation and interviews, and that applications go through admission.ugm.ac.id. Neither page states a validity period or a sending code for Duolingo.

For comparison, both Civil and Environmental Engineering and Chemical Engineering set IELTS at 6.0.
