Test rules and how to send your score
The undergraduate guide asks you to upload proof of English proficiency with your application. It does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or a Pearson institution code. The code it prints, 1321, is for TOEFL. Send your PTE score to UIndy through your Pearson account and check with admissions that it has arrived.
On the same list, IELTS is 5.5, so PTE 49 sits alongside IELTS 5.5 for undergraduates. Other options include Duolingo English 95 and Michigan English Test B2.

If you fall short
UIndy's English as a Second Language page says undergraduates who meet every admission requirement other than English proficiency can receive a letter of conditional admission, and should say so on the application. A graduation certificate from an approved ESL programme also counts as proof of English on the undergraduate list.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your UIndy programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
