How UW-Green Bay handles Duolingo scores

Undergraduates must ask Duolingo to share the score with UW-Green Bay so it can be verified online. Graduate applicants should have all Duolingo scores sent directly to the Office of Graduate Studies from Duolingo.

At both levels, a score more than two years old is not accepted.

For comparison, the same pages set IELTS at 6.0 for undergraduates and 6.5 for graduate study.

If your Duolingo score is below UWGB's level

Graduate applicants who meet every other requirement may be recommended for conditional (provisional) admission. You apply to UW-Green Bay and to one partner ESL programme at the same time, either Fox Valley Technical College ESL Institute or WESLI, and the partner issues the first I-20.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your UW-Green Bay programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
