DIRECTOR’S REMARKS

Welcome

Dear Student and Parents

Welcome to the Canadian International Matriculation Programme (CIMP) at Sunway University

College. CIMP is a pre-University programme which is approved and inspected by the Ontario
(Canada) Ministry of Education. Students who graduate from CIMP will have earned the Ontario
Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) which is the entry to universities all over the world.
We have had graduates who have studied in 140 universities throughout the world - in Australia,
New Zealand, Europe, Canada and the United States. If you are reading this document, you find
yourself at a crossroads in your academic career. You are looking for a programme which will
prepare you for a future in a predominantly English speaking university - a programme which will
offer you a solid academic base in English and offer you the subjects to prepare you to go to a
university of your choice.
In this School Subject Calendar, you will find information on an exciting and different pre-
University programme. You will find information on our OSSD requirements, information on
our English programmes, our subject offerings and the descriptions of the subjects, our code
of conduct, and our extracurricular activities. You will find that CIMP will challenge you to grow
academically and at the same time, provide opportunities for you to grow socially and culturally.
CIMP is part of Sunway University College and as such, we share the mission of Sunway University
College which is to “provide quality education of choice”. In doing so, we provide a strong
academic programme which is centred on the advancement, transmission and application of
knowledge, skills and attitudes. We also provide a wide variety of opportunities for students to
become involved in leadership activities and to participate in extracurricular activities which
will assist them to develop social responsibility, community involvement and ethical values. By
providing relevant quality education, we also hope to pave the way for our students to leave us
with a purpose and a goal to find a satisfying career which will benefit themselves and others.
Finally, we hope to instil in our students, the love of learning and in some way contribute to them
being lifelong learners.
The major difference in the Canadian Programme is the method of assessment and evaluation.
Unlike many programmes where the emphasis is on a final exam, CIMP puts the emphasis on
continuous evaluation. 70% of the final grade is determined through subject work throughout the
year, and 30% is determined through a final examination. This assessment/evaluation method puts
a greater emphasis on student involvement in the teaching/learning process at CIMP. In this way,
CIMP is very different from other programmes and far more student-centred.
Students are expected to become involved and active learners. This involvement provides our
students with not only the acquisition of knowledge, but also the ability to become creative
thinkers and communicators who will be able to apply this knowledge in meaningful ways.
If you are looking for a challenging programme, CIMP is certainly an option you should strongly
consider.

Yours truly,

Mr. John Futa

Director of Programme
Canadian International Matriculation Programme
INTRODUCTION

The Canadian International Matriculation Programme (CIMP) is designed to meet the needs of
all students, not just those wishing to attend a Canadian university. Our programme is designed
to prepare students to attend universities throughout the world. CIMP has been in operation for 19
years, and over 5,000 CIMP graduates have attended more than 140 universities around the world.
Over the years, many scholarship students have chosen to attend CIMP to help them prepare for
entry into universities.
CIMP is approved by the Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education, and we are inspected annually by
the Ontario (Canada) Ministry of Education.
This is a guide to the programme and subjects offered through the Canadian International Matriculation
Programme at Sunway University College. It is designed to assist students and parents in selecting a
programme of studies that will best suit the particular abilities, interests and educational goals of each
student.
The ultimate responsibility for selecting a student’s programme rests with the students and/or parents
and sponsors. Sunway University College, however, is prepared to assist in this decision-making process
through advice from the CIMP Administrative team and the Sunway University College programme
counsellors.

Objectives and Learning Outcomes

To assist students in pursuit of their post-secondary ambitions, CIMP will strive to assist students to:

• develop effective communication skills in English;

• prepare for the transition from secondary education to tertiary education;

• contribute to a learning culture that reflects an international community of scholars;

• develop to their full potential; and

• learn how to apply knowledge and skills, and to think analytically and critically.
PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
Classes are conducted on regular basis for a total of 6 hours per week per subject - 110 hours per subject in total. Students are in constant
contact with their lecturers. Each class is designed so that there is sufficient time for students to study or debate topics and issues in detail.
Lecturers are available to provide extra help after classes. The majority of lecturers are experienced Canadian-trained teachers. Lecturers are
guides to learning and they will assist students in becoming independent learners and thinkers.

A student’s progress is measured through continuous assessments where a student’s areas of need are spotted and corrected quickly and
performance cannot be hurt by one poor result. Students can expect a number of major tests per semester depending on the subject plus
numerous quizzes and assignments. Subject work comprises 70% of the final mark. There are compulsory formal examinations each semester
that contribute 30% towards each final mark.

Attendance is monitored very closely. There is no attendance mark given for any subject. The marks given are those earned by the student as
part of the continuous evaluation process. Parents will be notified of irregular attendance by letter (please see Attendance Policy).

Credits Subject Codes

A credit is granted to a student by the Programme Director The first three letters of the subject code are assigned by

Subjects Offered
The subjects offered at Sunway University College are
listed below and a more detailed description of each
subject appears later in this guide.

University Preparation Subjects (U) are designed Subject Listing

to equip students with the knowledge and skills they
need to meet entrance requirements for all university
programmes. All university preparation subjects will English
be based on rigorous Ontario, Canada curriculum ENG4C English
expectations and will emphasise the development of ENG4U English
both independent research skills and independent
learning skills. OLC4O Ontario Secondary School Literacy Subject

University/College Preparation Subjects (M)
include content that is relevant for both university
and college programmes. These subjects are
designed to equip students with the knowledge and
skills they need to meet the entrance requirements
for specific university and college programmes.
All university/college preparation subjects will be
based on rigorous Ontario, Canada curriculum
expectations and will emphasise the development of
both independent research skills and independent
learning skills.
College Preparation Subjects (C)
are designed to equip students with the
knowledge and skills they need to meet the
entrance requirements of college subjects.
All college preparation subjects will be based on
rigorous Ontario, Canada curriculum expectations
and will emphasise the development of both
independent research skills and independent
learning skills.
Open Subjects (O) are general subjects designed to
meet the needs of all students, regardless of whether
they intend to enter the workplace, or proceed to
further study at the college (C) or university (U) level.
Most Canadian universities and several other
universities throughout the world require ENG4U.
However, many universities in Asia and Australia
will accept ENG4C as the English credit for admission.
It is most important that students find out the
entry requirements for the university(ies) they wish
to attend.

Subject Changes
Once a semester has begun, students are allowed to make subject changes in the first week of the semester only.

Compulsory Subjects
The Malaysian Ministry of Higher Education requires that all Malaysian students complete relevant compulsory subjects. These subjects
include Bahasa Kebangsaan A (unless an SPM credit was earned). In addition, students are required to read Malaysian Studies, and either
Islamic Studies (Muslim students), or Moral Studies (non-Muslim students). CIMP combines this requirement into one subject named
“Interdisciplinary Studies” which students will normally take in their second semester. It meets the requirement of the Malaysian Ministry
of Higher Education and counts as one of the credits required for an OSSD.
For Diploma purposes, ENG4C, ENG4U or OLC4O may be used as the Compulsory English Credit.
NOTE: OLC4O is not a pre-university subject.

Assessment and Evaluation

All assessments of student’s achievement (coursework, projects, tests, assignments, group work, learning processes, final examinations)
are set internally by the academic staff of CIMP. Evaluation is not an end in itself, but rather is part of the learning process to judge a student’s
achievement in relation to the stated expectations of each subject. As noted under the “Programme Structure” section above, 70% of the final
grade is a result of coursework, while 30% is based on the final examination.
Procedures for evaluating students’ progress may vary from subject to subject. All subjects will include at least one formal examination.

Code of Behaviour for Students

Students shall:
• be diligent in attempting to master their studies;
• exercise self-discipline;
• accept such discipline as would be exercised by a kind, firm and judicious parent;
• attend classes punctually and regularly;
• be courteous to fellow students, and obedient and courteous to teachers;
• be clean in person and habits; and
• show respect for Sunway University College property and staff.

Every student is responsible to the Programme Director and to the Executive Director of Sunway University College for his or her conduct,
which is governed by Sunway University College’s Rules and Regulations.
Each student receives a copy of the Rules and Regulations as part of the orientation package.

Semester/Intake Dates
CIMP is organised as a semester programme
in which the academic year is divided
into two equal instructional sections. One
semester runs from January to May; the other
from July to November. Students normally
take three (3) subjects including English in
the first semester and four (4) subjects in the
second semester. Students may extend into a
third semester by spreading out their subject
selections.
Note: All students entering CIMP will be
required to write an English Placement Test
(EPT) and Mathematics Placement Test (MPT).
Based on the results students will be placed
accordingly. CIMP also offers a third intake
starting in March whereby students can
take two (2) subjects, English (ENG4C) and
Mathematics of Data Management (MDM4U).
These students will write their final exams
with the January intake students in May.
Attendance Policy
Student success in the programme is very much determined by regular and punctual attendance
in all classes because participation is vital to the process of learning. When learning is disrupted
by irregular attendance, the student suffers a loss of experience that cannot be entirely regained.
Students who habitually miss class will suffer in the evaluation process because their
participation and achievement cannot be fully assessed.
Our attendance policy is intended to make students aware of the consequences of absenteeism
and to encourage students to be openly accountable for their school-related behaviour.

Interim, Mid-Term and Final Reports

CIMP will issue three reports during a semester. The Interim Reports will indicate letter grade and
emphasise learning skills. The Mid-Term Reports will be issued in March and September of each
semester. Final Reports will be mailed to the student’s permanent address at the end
of the semester.

Reporting of Attendance
CIMP will officially report achievement to the parents and students twice during the semester
- in the middle of the semester and at the end. On each Report Card, along with an evaluation for
each subject taken, the number of absences and lates per subject will be indicated.
A 5-10-15 days absenteeism policy is used as an indicator to parents and students that academic
success is being limited by poor attendance. Parents will be notified by mail and when possible
will be called after 10 absences. Five (5) absences will begin to adversely affect a student’s grades.
After ten (10) absences a student’s grades will certainly be adversely affected. After fifteen (15)
absences a student will be in serious academic jeopardy and may be removed from classes.

Lateness
Lateness is disruptive in any classroom. Students who are chronically late for class may be
counted as absent. No student will be allowed to interfere with the learning of others. Parents
will be advised of chronic lateness.

Progression and Graduation Requirements

Diploma Requirements
The Ontario (Canada) Ministry of Education policy, Ontario Secondary Schools (OSS), governs all
students entering Ontario-inspected private school programmes.
Upon entry, CIMP students will be granted up to twenty-four (24) Prior Learning Assessment
Recognition (PLAR) equivalent credits based on their academic backgrounds. An Ontario Secondary
School Diploma (OSSD) will be awarded upon the successful completion of:
• Six (6) additional pre-university credits (including English— either ENG4C or ENG4U)
• A literacy requirement which includes the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT)
• Ten (10) hours of recognised Community Involvement

Literacy Test (OSSLT)

All students are required to pass an external literacy test in order to graduate.
The test is administered in April of each year.

Community Involvement (10 hours)

Community Involvement is a requirement of the Ontario (Canada) Ministry of Education.
It is designed to encourage students to develop awareness and understanding of civic responsibility
and the role they can play in supporting their communities. Community involvement may take place
in a variety of settings including business, non-profit organisations, and public institutions
(e.g. hospitals, churches, mosques, or other religious institutions, etc). Students cannot be paid for
work, and the work performed cannot include any duty normally performed by a paid employee.
International students may complete this requirement in their home community while on break.
Students will provide a record of their community involvement activities on a “CIMP Community
Involvement Record”. The person or organisation supervising the activities must confirm the
completion of work. A member of the CIMP staff will monitor the community involvement process.
PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS
Counselling Services
Staff of CIMP and Student Services Department will offer assistance to students in the areas of educational, academic, and personal counselling.
Assistance is available in:
• choosing subjects at Sunway University College,
• helping students improve or learn new skills to enhance their academic achievement; and regarding personal matters,
• providing advisory service on study options abroad through the International Education Centre.

The administrative team and teaching staff will provide general assistance but should an extraordinary need arise, other more specialised
counselling services by Student Welfare Counsellors and Bereavement Counsellors are available to assist students.

Extracurricular Activities
CIMP has its own Student Council elected by the students to organise and run many extracurricular activities throughout a semester.
Teachers act as staff advisors to the Council, and students who are members of the Council gain valuable experience in leadership and
teamwork. Some of the activities organised by the Council include:

• Student Council Activities • Orientation Day

• Graduation Dinner/Dance • Theme Days
• Talent Night • Editorial Board
• Charity Activities • Fund Raising Activities
• Numerous Sporting Clubs • Academic Clubs

Students are not required to participate in extracurricular activities, but doing so helps them get to know people outside of regular classes and
provides a pleasant break from the academic routines. Extracurricular leadership involvement may also enhance a reference or testimonial,
especially if coupled with strong academic results. There are many Institution-wide activities available under the Students & Services
Department of Sunway University College.
Graphing Calculators
Students taking pre-university mathematics subjects are required to have a graphing
calculator (costs approximately RM460). Details will be given during orientation
concerning the make and model currently in use. Calculators will be available for
purchase at Sunway University College.

The Ontario Student Transcript

The Ontario Student Transcript (OST) is a student’s individual record of all successful and
unsuccessful attempts at completing credit subjects while at CIMP (or any other Ontario
Governed School). Credit subjects gained toward diploma requirements are recorded and
maintained on the OST. Credit subjects are shown using the Common Subject Codes and
designations issued by the Ontario (Canada) Ministry of Education.

Full Disclosure
There is full disclosure for all subjects taken. A percentage grade will be recorded for
subjects successfully completed, subjects repeated, subjects failed, and subjects from
which students have withdrawn. If a subject is taken a second time to improve a mark,
both attempts will be recorded with the marks, but students will receive only one credit.
If a student withdraws from the subject later than five days after the Mid-Term Report, the
subject will be recorded with the mark received up to that time.

Note:
If the transcript is lost or damaged, a replacement may be obtained from the programme office. Certified true
copies of transcripts and diplomas should be submitted when applying to universities. Originals should be retained.
Originals cannot be replaced.

Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition - PLAR

Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is the formal evaluation and
credit-granting process whereby students may obtain credits for prior learning.
Prior learning includes the knowledge and skills that students have acquired, in both
formal and informal ways, outside secondary school. Students may have their knowledge
and skills evaluated against the expectations outlined in provincial curriculum policy
documents in order to earn credits toward the secondary school diploma. The PLAR
process involves two components; “challenge” and “equivalency”. At CIMP, both
components are used.

The “equivalency” process is the manner in which we presently grant credits from previous
jurisdictions. In most cases, CIMP awards 24 equivalent credits to a student who has
completed Grade 11 in another jurisdiction. The student will then be required to
complete an additional 6 University or University/College or College credits to earn the
Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD).

Beginning in January 2010, students in CIMP will be afforded the opportunity to

“challenge” for the granting of an additional credit. For instance a student from China may
“challenge” for a pre-university credit in the International Language Mandarin subject. The
student would be required to make an application to challenge for the subject. Students
would have to provide reasonable evidence that they would likely be successful in the
challenge process. Assessment and evaluation through the PLAR process will be based
on curriculum expectations and will consist of formal tests, written assignments, quizzes,
observation of student work, demonstrations/performances, etc.

Students will only be permitted to earn one credit through the “challenge” process.
There will be a limited number of International Language subjects in the first semester.
There will be an additional subject fee charged for anyone applying to enter the
“challenge” process.
