Validity, sending and the IELTS level
The graduate page says exam scores are only valid for two years after the test date and official scores must be sent directly to the university by the testing agency. If your degree was taught in English, the test may be waived on petition at the Graduate Dean's discretion. The page sets no separate DET level for assistantships.
On the same graduate page, IELTS is 6.5 for the university minimum and for every higher-requirement programme, so those programmes raise the Duolingo and TOEFL bars but not IELTS.

If your Duolingo score is short
The graduate page describes no conditional or pathway route. Undergraduates, who would use another test, can be offered conditional admission if academically qualified, and can also meet the requirement through approved English programmes such as ELS Level 112.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Tulsa programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
