| Undergraduate (first year and transfer), before 21 Jan 2026 | 61 | |

How UIndy handles TOEFL scores
Official TOEFL scores should be sent directly to UIndy from ETS using code 1321; photocopies are not accepted for graduate applications. When you register for the TOEFL as a graduate applicant you also need to enter a department code. Your admissions counsellor or programme director can confirm any higher programme score.
For comparison, UIndy asks undergraduates for IELTS 5.5; the graduate page accepts IELTS but gives a figure only for TOEFL.

If your TOEFL score is below UIndy's level
Undergraduates who meet every admission requirement except English proficiency can receive a letter of conditional admission by indicating this on their application. UIndy works with independent ESL providers, including Internexus, ELS Language Centers, EF International Language Centers and the Program for Intensive English. A graduation certificate from an approved ESL programme is also accepted as proof of English.
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.
