Welcome
Dear Student and Parents
Welcome to the Canadian International Matriculation Programme (CIMP) at Sunway University College. CIMP is a pre-university
programme, 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 provides entry to universities all over the world.
Our graduates have studied in 140 universities throughout the world - in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Canada, the UK, and
the United States. If you are looking for a programme that will prepare you for a future in a predominantly English speaking
university − a programme that will offer you a solid academic base in English and offer you the subjects needed to prepare
you for the university of your choice − CIMP is for you.
This School Subject Calendar provides information on our exciting and unique pre-university programme. You will find
information on our OSSD (diploma) requirements; information on our English programmes, and our subject offerings;
and descriptions of the subjects, our code of conduct, and our extracurricular activities. CIMP will challenge you to grow
academically, socially and culturally.
As part of Sunway University College, CIMP shares the Sunway mission: “to provide quality education of choice.” To achieve this
goal, we provide a strong academic programme, 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 that will assist them in developing social responsibility, community involvement
and ethical values. By providing relevant quality education, we also pave the way for our students to leave us with a purpose
and a goal to find a satisfying career that will benefit themselves and others. Finally, we hope to instil in our students the love
of learning and contribute to their being lifelong learners.
The major difference between the Canadian programme and other pre-university programmes 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 term, 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 some of the other programmes and is far more student-centred.
In CIMP, students are expected to become involved and active learners. This involvement provides our students not only with
the acquisition of knowledge, but also with the ability to become creative thinkers and communicators who will be able to
apply this knowledge in meaningful ways in university and beyond.
If you are looking for a challenging, student-centred programme, involving strong academics, community involvement, and
meaningful participation in extracurricular activities, CIMP is an option you should strongly consider.

Yours truly,

Mr. Andrew Melnyk

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 anywhere in 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. The guide 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;

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

• develop academically and socially 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 con-
stant 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 in which a student’s areas of need are identified and addressed
quickly. A benefit of continuous assessment is that one poor result will not have a detrimental effect on the final grade, and because
student weaknesses are addressed quickly, student performance will improve throughout the term.

Students can expect a number of major tests per semester, depending on the subject, plus numerous quizzes and assignments. Subject
term work comprises 70% of the final mark. There are compulsory formal examinations each semester that contribute 30% towards each
final mark.

Although no mark is assigned for attendance, attendance is monitored very closely. Students are counselled if problems are apparent,
and if necessary, parents will be contacted by letter (Please see the Attendance Policy). This procedure ensures that students attend
their classes and reap the benefits of the daily educational experience; also, parents can rest assured that their sons and daughters are
attending classes on a regular basis.

SCH4U Chemistry
to meet the entrance requirements of college subjects.
SPH4U Physics
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 fur-
ther 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 achieve-
ment 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 aca-
demic 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 sec-
ond 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 stu-
dents can take two (2) subjects, English (ENG4C) and Mathemat-
ics 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 On-
tario-inspected private school programmes.
Upon entry, CIMP students will be granted up to twenty-four (24) Prior Learning Assessment Recognition (PLAR) equiva-
lent 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 institu-
tions, 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,
• a guidance counselor is available to assist CIMP students in choosing subjects and provide help with university applications.

Other services include:

• 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 campus-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. Details will be given
during orientation concerning the maker and model currently in use. Calculators will be available for purchase at Sun-
way University College.

The Ontario Student Transcript

The Ontario Student Transcript (OST) is a student’s individual record of all successful and unsuccessful attempts at com-
pleting 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 towards the
secondary school diploma. The PLAR process involves two components: “challenge” and “equivalency”. At CIMP, both
components are used.

PLAR Equivalency
When a student enters CIMP, he/she has successfully completed an equivalent of Grade 11 in Canada (SPM, O Levels,
SMA etc). In Ontario, he/she would earn eight credits per year in each of Grade 9, 10 and 11, for total of 24 credits.

SPM
GRADE 9 GRADE 10 GRADE 11
‘O’ Levels
8 credits 8 credits 8 credits
SMA

The “equivalency” process is the manner in which we presently grant credits from previous jurisdiction. 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). Additional requirements include successful completion of the OSSLT and 10 hours
of community service.

PLAR Challenge
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 course. The student would be required to make an application to challenge for the course. 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 course fee charged for anyone applying
to enter the “challenge” process.
