What IELTS score do you need for the University of the District of Columbia (UDC)?

Applicants with less than 60 on the TOEFL internet test are denied admission to the Community College. Those scoring 60 to 78 are admitted to the Community College if they also average 86 or better on the ESL Accuplacer exam.

A transcript showing a C or better in one college-level English course at an accredited US post-secondary institution also meets the requirement. PTE and Duolingo are not mentioned on the page.

The SAT/ACT requirement can be waived with two college-level English courses at an accredited American institution with a C or better. The page does not state score validity.

The US F-1 student visa sets no English test score of its own. What counts is the requirement UDC sets for admission, which leads to your Form I-20. For the wider picture, see IELTS for the USA.

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