Atlantic Technological University points 2026

214 courses in the CAO points charts for 2026, from 168 to 544.

On the year before, 81 of its courses went up, 69 came down and 53 barely moved. That mix is worth more than any single course's number: it says whether the college as a whole is getting harder to get into.
