Test rules and how to send your score

The undergraduate page says test scores must be no more than two years old at the time of application. Neither page mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or how to send PTE results.

On the undergraduate page IELTS Academic (paper and computer) needs 6.5 with no band below 6, and Duolingo 110. The graduate page lists IELTS 6.5, Duolingo 120 and CAEL 70 next to PTE 60.

If you fall short

The graduate page accepts the University of Guelph English Language Certificate and the Guelph Preparation Program at Advanced Level instead of a test. It gives no PTE entry score for either.

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