This an article that contains a guide to calculating your COTT APS (Admission Point Score) for the 2025 academic year. We have adopted the selection criteria of various courses for the coming admission year.
Among the many requirements needed for admission into the College of the Transfiguration, COTT, the admission point score is the most necessary. For those of us who might be asking what admission point scores mean. It is simply an accumulation of grade points needed for admission into the University. The COTT APS for various courses is determined by using a constant calculation formula which will be stated in this article.
Every year, the management of the College of the Transfiguration publishes a standard Admission Point Score for all courses which can be used as a constant in determining the selection of prospective students into undergraduate programmes. Bear in mind that the COTT APS is only used as a selection criteria for undergraduate admission and not for postgraduate studies.
