This an article that contains a guide to calculating your ROSEBANK COLLEGE APS (Admission Point Score) for the 2024 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 Rosebank College, the admission point score is the most necessary. For those of us who might be asking what an admission point score means. It is simply an accumulation of grade points needed for admission into the University. The ROSEBANK COLLEGE 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 Rosebank College 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 ROSEBANK COLLEGE APS is only used as a selection criteria for undergraduate admission and not for postgraduate studies.
Kindly check below for the steps on how to calculate the Rosebank College Admission Point Score for the 2024 academic year.
