JLPT 1.5? Is this something new?

Japanese universities require JLPT 1 for enrollment if they don`t have an international program (which will sometimes accept 2 if you`re going to be studying Japanese there) or handle the foreign student Japanese exam thing. (Forget the name.) JLPT 3 would mean nothing inside Japan.
Yes, I think I heard there's a JLPT1.5 now or something like that. And that's surprising that universities require you to take JLPT3 at some point. Perhaps it's by location? I mean, I would have had to fly hundreds of miles and around 10 hours just to take the JLPT3. That's too pricey for undergrads. Thank God I didn't have to do that. I've never heard of such a requirement before.
