Test rules and how PTE compares with IELTS
UAF names four accepted tests: TOEFL, IELTS, PTE and Duolingo. The page does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or a sending method.
On the same page, IELTS is 6.5 and TOEFL 4.5 at both levels, so PTE 55 sits beside IELTS 6.5. Duolingo is 110 for undergraduates and 120 for graduates.

If you fall short
UAF says requests for exceptions to the English proficiency policy can be emailed to the Office of Admissions. Citizens of listed countries are exempt from the requirement. No conditional admission or ESL route is described.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your UAF programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
