What Duolingo score do you need for the University of Alberta?

The page lists Duolingo as currently valid through the 2028-2029 admission cycle. Language test results more than two years old are not accepted.

You can submit results directly from the testing centre, through Launchpad if the upload option is available, or through the Student Service Portal. The page says Duolingo and other test providers may offer to send results straight to the U of A, and it can take about two to four weeks for them to show in Launchpad.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS Academic at 6.5 with no band below 6.0, and a Speaking score of 7.5 for Spoken English Proficiency.

Five faculties offer a Bridging Program for applicants who meet every admission requirement except English Language Proficiency: Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences, Arts, Kinesiology, Sport and Recreation, Native Studies, and Augustana Campus. Bridging students take English for Academic Purposes courses during their first year alongside their programme, though not every programme in these faculties offers it.

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