If you fall short
Westcliff also accepts a letter from a foreign high school or university confirming English as the medium of instruction, with no expiry date. A transcript showing 30 semester credit hours with an average of C (high school) or B (university) is another route, and the page lists further tests such as CAEL and Cambridge B2 First.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Westcliff programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
