Sending, validity and the IELTS level
Undergraduates submit scores through the testing service or, if they have not yet done so, email results as a PDF to international@utoledo.edu. The undergraduate page does not accept scores more than two years old.
Graduate applicants must have scores sent by the testing service directly to Graduate Admissions; paper copies or uploaded digital copies are not accepted. Scores must still be valid (not expired) on the first day you begin your programme. The page sets no separate DET level for assistantships.
On the same pages, IELTS is 6.0 overall for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduate study.

If your Duolingo score is short
Undergraduates can meet the requirement by completing the High Advanced Level at the American Language Institute, Toledo's intensive English programme. Graduate applicants can meet it by completing the Graduate Access Program (GAP) pathway through the same institute. Neither page gives a DET entry level for these routes.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Toledo programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
