How UBalt handles Duolingo scores

UBalt says an institutional reporting code is not required for Duolingo. The page does not state a validity period, subscores or teaching assistantship rule. The University reserves the right to require additional English language instruction of any student.

For comparison, the same page sets IELTS at 6.0 overall, or 6.5 for the School of Law's LL.M.

If your Duolingo score is below UBalt's level

The test may be waived for first-year applicants with three or more years at a US high school, and for transfers with 56 or more transferable credits including English composition at C or higher from a US college. Any waiver is applied once your official US transcript or international evaluation is received.

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