Minimum score requirements:
IELTS: 6.0 (no single element below 5.5)
TOEFL: 78 (school code: C614)
PTE: 50 (school code: 67L)
Duolingo: 95 – 100
The Admissions Team accepts test scores taken within the past two years. If scores are older, the test must be retaken.
Glasgow Caledonian New York College requires all post-secondary school transcripts for admission. If your degree is from an institution outside the United States, the Admissions Team requires you to submit translated and evaluated post-secondary credentials. GCNYC recommends utilizing World Education Services, Inc. (WES), a third-party verification agency for a course-by-course evaluation for admission consideration. Other evaluation services will also be accepted for review. The Admissions Team will use the evaluation provided to determine if the degree is the equivalent of a four-year bachelor’s degree. Official, translated and evaluated transcripts must be sent via courier or brought in person upon arrival to the College.
Please send the official, translated and evaluated transcripts to:
