If your TOEFL score is below the University of Toledo's level
Undergraduates who qualify academically but need stronger English are admitted to the American Language Institute (ALI) for intensive English, and completing its High Advanced Level meets the requirement. Graduate applicants can instead complete the Graduate Access Program (GAP) pathway through the ALI.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your University of Toledo programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
