AdminThe University of Cape Coast (UCC) is one of Ghana’s most prestigious tertiary institutions, renowned for its academic excellence and student-focused programs. If you’re considering applying for the 2025/2026 academic year, understanding the UCC cut-off points is essential. These cut-off points determine the minimum qualifications needed to gain admission into specific programs.
In this detailed guide, we’ll explore the UCC cut-off points for 2025/2026, their significance, how to apply, and tips for meeting the required standards. Whether you’re a Ghanaian student or an international applicant, this article has everything you need to know.
What Are Cut-Off Points?
Cut-off points represent the minimum scores or grades an applicant must achieve to be eligible for admission into a particular program at UCC. These scores vary depending on the competitiveness of the program and the number of available slots.
Cut-off points are primarily based on results from:
- West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE)
- Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE)
- Equivalent international qualifications.
Why Are UCC Cut-Off Points Important?
- Guides Admission Decisions
UCC uses cut-off points to ensure that students admitted to specific programs have the requisite academic background to succeed. - Helps Students Choose Programs
Knowing the cut-off points allows prospective students to evaluate their eligibility and choose programs that match their qualifications. - Ensures Fairness
Cut-off points standardize the admission process, ensuring fairness for all applicants.
UCC Cut-Off Points for 2025/2026 Academic Year
Below is a table of the UCC Cut-Off Points for some popular programs. Note that these figures are based on past trends and are subject to change for the 2025/2026 academic year.

How to Calculate Your Aggregate Score
To determine if you meet a program’s cut-off point, calculate your aggregate score as follows:
- Choose Six Best Subjects
- Include core subjects: Mathematics, English, and Integrated Science/Social Studies.
- Add three elective subjects.
- Assign Grade Points
Based on your WASSCE results, assign points to your grades:- A1 = 1
- B2 = 2
- B3 = 3
- C4 = 4
- C5 = 5
- C6 = 6
- Sum the Points
Add the points of your six best subjects to get your aggregate score.
How to Apply to UCC for 2025/2026
Follow these steps to submit your application to UCC:
Step 1: Purchase an Application Form
- Visit any GCB Bank, Prudential Bank, or Zenith Bank branch to purchase an e-voucher.
- Alternatively, buy the e-voucher online via the UCC admission portal.
Step 2: Visit the UCC Admissions Portal
Go to the official portal: UCC Admissions Portal.
Step 3: Fill Out the Online Application Form

Step 4: Upload Required Documents
Ensure you upload all necessary documents, including:
- A certified copy of your results.

- Passport-sized photograph.
Step 5: Submit and Track Your Application
After submitting, you’ll receive a confirmation message with a unique application number. Use this number to track your application status on the portal.
Common Questions About UCC Cut-Off Points
1. Can I Apply if My Aggregate Exceeds the Cut-Off Point?
Yes, but admission is highly competitive. Meeting the cut-off point improves your chances significantly.
2. Are Cut-Off Points the Same for International Students?
No. UCC has separate admission requirements for international students. Check the international admissions page for details.
3. Can Cut-Off Points Change?
Yes. UCC reviews cut-off points annually based on the number of applicants and available resources.
4. What Happens if I Don’t Meet the Cut-Off Point?
You can explore other programs with lower cut-off points or consider upgrading your results.
Tips to Meet UCC Cut-Off Points
- Study Strategically
Focus on core and elective subjects relevant to your chosen program. - Time Management
Create a study schedule that balances all subjects. - Practice Past Questions
Familiarize yourself with WASSCE/SSSCE past papers to improve your performance. - Seek Help
Attend tutorials or hire a tutor for challenging subjects.
