Admission source check
Official-title check: HTU's current HND listing uses “HND Fashion Design and Textiles (Regular & Weekend Sessions)”, while this catalogue record retains “HND Fashion Design and Clothing Technology”. Find My Uni GH does not assert that the titles are equivalent. Confirm the intended programme and current route with HTU admissions. The official HND listing inspected did not provide a course-specific threshold, so the existing WASSCE panels remain catalogue screening guidance rather than a verified cut-off.
