Test rules and how to send PTE to New Haven
The graduate page links Pearson's instructions for sending scores and says you may upload a scanned unofficial copy to the application portal for review; official scores are required for enrolment in classes. It does not state a validity period or mention PTE Academic Online.
For comparison, the graduate page pairs PTE 50 with IELTS 6.0, PTE 53 with IELTS 6.5 and PTE 68 with IELTS 7.5. Undergraduates need IELTS 6.0 against PTE 53.

If your PTE score falls short
Both pages offer conditional admission to applicants who are academically admissible but need to improve their English, including those with no score. The graduate page says doctorate and PhD programmes and the M.A. in Industrial/Organizational Psychology do not offer it. The undergraduate page names a PTE score below 53 as one case it covers.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your New Haven programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
