<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I don’t ever recall seeing
this change on the listserv (nor did I see it on a quick search of any email referencing
IELTS); however, I did see the change documented in the Chapter 3 of the Policy
Manuel last month, when I was looking for something else. While I have inquired
as to whether or not we will be changing our requirements, at this time OSU is
still using the 6.0 for undergraduate admission, and I believe our graduate
college is using a 6.5 overall band score.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I hope you can all help me out on an issue that I need a
very QUICK answer on. We are preparing to admit a number of international
students and are looking at how we will satisfy their language proficiency
requirement. The minimum score we use for IELTS is 6.0 for both graduate
and undergraduate students. Last week I discovered that the OSRHE
procedures manual now reflects a 5.0 as the minimum score. I checked and
Gina said we were notified in the spring that this changed via OACRAO-l.
Can you tell me what IELTS score you use and when you received the notification
that it changed from 6 to 5? I wonder if I am not getting the updates.
I get the ones on policy but not things that change in the procedures
like this. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for your speedy response. Time is working
against me on this one so I am relying on my OACRAO friends to set me straight!<o:p></o:p></p>
