Test rules and how to send your score
The page lists PTEA 53 among the test score indicators. It does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or a Pearson institution code, so send your score through your Pearson account and confirm receipt with UNF admissions.
On the same page, IELTS is 6.5 and Duolingo is 110 at both levels, so PTE 53 is UNF's PTE equivalent of IELTS 6.5.

If you fall short
A certificate of completion of the Pre-University level in the UNF English Language Program with a minimum average grade of 3.0 meets the requirement at both levels. Graduate applicants can also ask their Graduate Program Director to consider a GRE Verbal score of 152 or a degree taught in English.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your UNF programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
