[Oacrao-l] help on IELTS

While we are on the discussion of International admissions, do all of
you require an ACT or SAT in addition to the TOEFL?  Do you also require
an American transcription of the foreign high school transcript? Just
asking...I have created a universal disturbance in the NOC athletic
department, so wanted to know your thoughts! Thanks, Rick

For undergrads, NSU uses IELTS score of 6 for those direct from their
home country and 5 for those with 12 weeks of study at an approved
English language school.  

For grads, IELTS from home country is 6.5 and 5.5 with 12 weeks of
study.

We have been using these scores since at least 2007 and I have not heard
of any changes via email.

I just looked at my notes and we use 5.5 IELTS for undergrad admission
and 6.5 for graduate admission.  To be honest with you, I have not paid
attention to the updates in the procedures  manual, so who am I to
respond!?!

I have had very few (less than 5 in 15 years) who have come to us using
IELTS scores.

Thanks,

Hi Pamla,

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.

Hello all,

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.   

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!
