INTRODUCTION HISTORY INTI was founded in 1986 and had its first enrollment of 37 students in the American University Program (AUP) at its campus in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur on April 1987. Within a year and a half, enrollment in AUP exceeded 400 students and INTI College had to move to a larger premise by April 1989. Student numbers surged again two years later to 900 and in 1991, INTI moved once more to the now familiar Subang Jaya location where the campus remains to this day. Today the Subang Jaya campus, with its new 10-storey state-of-the-art building, stands tall and proud of its historical eminence as it continues forging ahead as a leader in American Education. In an effort to further enhance the experience of tertiary education, INTI International University (f o r m e r l y k n o w n a s I N T I C o l l e g e M a l a y s i a a n d I N T I I n t e r n a t i o n a l U n i v e r s i t y College in 2006) opened its doors on April 1998 at Bandar Baru Nilai, Negeri Sembilan with the capacity to accommodate 7,000 students with housing for more than 3,500 students. INTI International University spans over eighty acres and provides students with academic and university-life balance with its state of the art teaching, learning and recreational amenities. By 2001, INTI expanded its wings to Sabah and Sarawak, apart from Nilai. It also acquired INTI International College Penang and PJ College of Art and Design. In 2008, INTI firmly established its international presence as it became a member of the Laureate International Universities network encompassing 26 countries. Today, the program is known as the American Degree Transfer Program (AUP) and has become INTI’s flagship program with over 280 universities in USA and Canada accepting our credits. AUP students continue to wave the INTI flag with their excellence in academics and in the professional arena worldwide. RECOGNITION 1 INTI Education Group is registered under the Education Act of 1961 and all its programs are approved by the Ministry of Higher Education Malaysia. The American Degree Transfer Program (AUP) has enjoyed long and strong collaborations, and partnerships with American universities, students can choose from over 285 institutions to transfer to and complete their studies. There are also an increasing number of Canadian and Australian universities accepting INTI’s AUP credits. THE NEW INTI A new star has appeared to illuminate the path of higher education in Malaysia with a synergy between Laureate International Universities and the INTI Education Group. The combined global resources have fused into a stellar entitty offering students superior career-focused programs. Backed by international curricular and academic experience drawn from a constellation of over 42 accredited universities and 100 campuses spanning 20 countries worldwide, students will benefit from global best practices and international exposure. The emphasis on employability ensures that INTI students possess d i s t i n c t qualities, setting them apart from their peers - as assets to their employers as well as individuals who are ready to compete in the global market. American Degree Transfer Program U.S. ORIENTED ACADEMIC PROGRAM INTI’S AMERICAN DEGREE TRANSFER PROGRAM (AUP) Students can pursue the following majors in the American Degree Transfer Program (AUP): Applied Science Arts LAUREATE INTENSIVE ENGLISH PROGRAM (LEIP) Every student enrolling for the American Degree Transfer Program is required to demonstrate a satisfactory command of the English language. An English Placement Test is used to determine the student’s command of English. A student who falls below the required level of proficiency w i l l have to enroll in Laureate Intensive English Program (LEIP). MAJOR OPTIONS 2 Students enrolling in AUP have the option of pursuing one of the many majors available in the US. The following is a partial list of majors available, sorted according to field of study.

SECONDARY SCHOOL U.S. secondary schools prepare students for a well-rounded general education. Unlike Malaysia, students in U.S. secondary schools are not separated into science and arts streams. Students may decide to take particular science or arts subjects, and the choice is left to them. Students graduate from secondary school with a general High School Diploma. Students may then go directly into their post-secondary education. POST-SECONDARY SCHOOL There are over 4000 post-secondary schools in the U.S. In general, there are three types of post- secondary institutions: community colleges and technical schools; colleges and universities; and institutes of technology. Community colleges and technical schools are two year post-secondary institutions generally tied quite closely to the community they are located in. Students may choose to attend a community college for two years before transferring to a four-year college or university to complete their bachelor’s degree. Community colleges generally award Associate Degrees, a two-year degree which marks the mid-point to getting a bachelor’s degree. In addition, most will offer short term technical and professional degree courses, night courses for adults, and special interest courses on specific subjects. Colleges and universities are post-secondary institutions offering bachelor’s and graduate degrees. It is important to note that the difference between a college and university is one of structure, not of quality. Colleges tend to concentrate on undergraduate degrees, do less research, and focus a great deal on liberal arts and sciences. A university is a conglomeration of several colleges, offers more degrees at the graduate level, and places more emphasis on research than most colleges. American colleges and universities are either public (supported primarily by taxpayers) or private (supported by grants, private funding, and/or tuition fees). In general, public schools tend to be larger and less expensive, while private institutions are often smaller and much more expensive. Again, the difference between public and private schools is not a difference in quality. Institutes of Technology are similar to universities and colleges except that the majority of the degrees that they offer are technologically oriented (engineering, applied sciences, etc.). Some also offer bachelor degrees in liberal arts as well as in technological subjects. Institutes of Technology are equivalent in quality to colleges and universities. SEMESTER VS QUARTER SYSTEM In general, institutions of higher education in the United States operate on one of two different systems: the semester system or the quarter system. In the semester system, the academic year is usually divided into two 17-week terms and one summer term. A student will normally enrol l for 12 to 15 credit hours (4 to 5 courses) per semester. The quarter system divides the academic year into 3 terms of 10 weeks each with an additional term in the summer. A student in the quarter system will normally enrol l for 15 quarter hours (3 courses) per quarter. American Degree Transfer Program 5 INTI operates on the semester system. However, a student may still transfer to a university that runs on a quarter system as a student’s INTI credits will be converted into quarter hour credits (1 semester hour is equal to 1.5 quarter hours). A student in a semester system will generally earn 30 semester hours per year, and will have to earn 120 -130 semester hours to graduate, while a student enrolled in a quarter system will generally earn 45 quarter hours per year and needs to have about 180 quarter hours to graduate. ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS In order to receive a degree from a university, a student must take those courses required by the university and his/her department and have accumulated the correct number of credit hours. Although each university operates independently and sets its own graduation requirements, students enrolled in U.S. universities are required to take three types of courses in order to receive their bachelor’s degree: 1. General Education: Students of all majors must take courses that provide a foundation in general education. This includes courses in Social Sciences, Natural Sciences, Humanities and Fine Arts. In addition, students must show that they have fundamental skills in Mathematics and English by taking basic courses in these subjects. The general education courses will normally be taken during the first two years at the university. 2. Pre-Major Courses: These are introductory courses designated by a particular university department as being compulsory before higher level coursework is taken. Pre-major course requirements will vary depending on the major. 6 3. Upper Division Courses: These include higher level courses taken once a student has been admitted into a particular major. The courses deal with subjects specific to the student’s area of specialization. Normally, these courses are taken during the third and fourth year at the university. CREDIT HOURS A minimum course load per semester for a full-time student in good academic standing is 12 credit hours. Academic advancement by a student is measured in terms of semester credit hours or, simply, credits. One credit hour is taken to mean one hour of lecture or two hours of laboratory sessions per week per semester. Credit hours are earned for courses when the grade obtained is “D” or better. Courses with grades of “C-” and below may be repeated in the following semester. GRADING Grades for a course are not determined by one final examination. Different courses are taken each semester and grades are determined on the basis of continual assessment. A student’s grade for a particular course, for example, can be broken down as follows: 20% First mid-term examination 20% Second mid-term examination 40% Final examination 10% Quizzes and homework 10% Class participation American Degree Transfer Program Under the continuous assessment system, the marks obtained from most of the work done by the students will count towards his/her grade. As a result, students must be prepared to study throughout the semester and not leave their work until the last minute. Students should also note that lecturers will expect them to ask questions in class and engage in discussions on the subjects being taught. Lecturers also grade each student according to his/her participation. STUDENT STATUS In a U.S. college or university, the classification of a student’s class standing is determined by the amount of coursework completed. The following is a method of classification: Year in College First Year Second Year Third Year Fourth Year Class Standing Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior Credit Hours Earned 0 - 30 31 - 60 61 - 90 Above 90 However, the classification procedure varies for different U.S. colleges and universities. Students can refer to the catalogs of the U.S. colleges and universities for further details. CREDIT TRANSFER TO THE U.S. 7 In the U.S., it is common for a student to transfer the credit hours earned from one college or university to another. Similarly, students enrolled in the American Degree Transfer Program (AUP) at INTI can also apply to transfer their credit hours earned from INTI to accredited U.S. colleges and universities. Universities require students to obtain 30-40 credit hours in residence in order to graduate with a bachelor’s degree from that university. However, it is the prerogative of these colleges and universities to decide whether a particular student or the number of courses the student has taken at his/her original college is to be accepted for transfer. Normally, U.S. colleges and universities require a transfer student to have at least 2.00 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), which is a “C” average, and a minimum TOEFL score of 500/173/68 (paper based/ computer based/internet based). Because of the varied requirements of different colleges and universities, it is most important that the student should choose courses in the General Education Requirements, Lower and Upper Division core courses of the student’s major very carefully. This is to avoid any loss of time and money due to non-transferability of the courses taken earlier. Since all U.S. colleges and universities are independent, every university has its own courses a n d requirements. In order to transfer a maximum number of credit hours, it is advisable for the student to decide on his/her area(s) of concentration during the first semester. During the second semester, the student should conduct research work at the University Placement Office and consult the Head of Program and Course Advisors. After that, he/she should shortlist at least 3 U.S. colleges and universities which he/she would like to apply to and then choose the courses to study at INTI accordingly. American Degree Transfer Program Very often, a U.S. college or university admits a student on the basis of its specific requirements, the number of places available, and the major the student has applied for. The student should also bear in mind that a state college or university may have a quota for foreign students. Therefore, in order to maximize the chances of being accepted by U.S. colleges and universities, the student is advised to apply to at least three U.S. institutions which offer his/her area of study. Undoubtedly, students who apply to any of the U.S. colleges and universities which have a link with INTI have a greater chance of being admitted. ADVANCED STANDING Students enrolling for AUP may have STPM, A- Level qualifications or other certificates of postsecondary work in addition to SPM or its equivalent. In certain cases, students may use the results from these examinations to receive advanced credit from a university when they transfer. Because no direct equivalence to these examinations exists in the United States, each university will set its own policy on the granting of advanced credit. Students who hold one of these qualifications should consult the University Placement Office to find out the respective universities’ policy on granting advanced credit. TEST OF ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE (TOEFL) 8 The TOEFL score requirements vary for different U.S. colleges and universities. On an average, a minimum score of 520/173 is required. However, some colleges and universities require 550/213/80 or higher. A high score would enhance the student’s chance of being accepted. SPM/’O’ LEVEL/STPM/’A’ LEVEL/UEC RESULTS Students holding non-U.S. high school diplomas should enclose certified official SPM/UEC/O-Level results together with the application forms to the chosen U.S. colleges and universities. In addition, students holding any higher qualifications such as STPM/A-Levels or other post-secondary coursework should include certified copies of the results with their application. INTI TRANSCRIPTS Students intending to transfer their credit hours must complete the UP-3 form requesting that INTI send their official transcripts to the colleges and universities indicated. It order to be eligible to apply for admission as a transfer student to a U.S. college or university, an INTI student should normally have 2 to 3 semesters of coursework at INTI (24-30 credit hours) and a CGPA of at least 2.00, which is the equivalent of a “C” grade. A high CGPA would enhance the student’s chance of being accepted. FINANCIAL CAPABILITY In order to obtain his/her I-20 form and international student visa, the student is required to show proof of his/her financial capability for the entire period of his/her study in the U.S. Proof may be in the form of bank statements, fixed deposits, income tax statements, etc. American Degree Transfer Program An I-20 is a document issued by the International Office of a U.S. college or university to enable an international student to obtain his/her student visa. THE SAT REASONING TEST The SAT is not required by many of the U.S. colleges or universities if a student is applying for transfer admission. However, for some U.S. colleges and universities, the SAT is essential for applying to certain majors and it is usually required for financial aid applications. Information on SAT requirements may be obtained from the college and university catalogs. UNIVERSITY PLACEMENT SERVICES INTI will provide maximum assistance to students seeking admission to their desired U.S. colleges and universities to complete their baccalaureate degrees. University Placement Office The department provides information on credit transfer, study plans and application procedures to students who wish to transfer to U.S. colleges and universities. Course Advisors assist students in choosing courses, major, university and in planning for their future abroad. They also organize pre-departure orientation for students. The department has over 700 catalogs, brochures, prospectuses as well as study plans for particular majors from different U.S. universities and colleges; video tapes of U.S. colleges and universities; references and college explorer computer software which may be used by all students. The department regularly organizes special seminars and workshops on credit transfer, university application procedures and visa application. Officers from MACEE, the U.S. Embassy and representatives from various U.S. colleges and universities are regularly invited to address students on the current trends in education in the U.S. Talks by INTI alumni from the U.S. are also held to help students understand American culture and their way of life. Students who are continue their studies overseas may also seek assistance for their travel arrangements from INTI’s official travel agency. Seminars are also conducted to enlighten students on the services available.

If the student does not complete all the course requirements by the 1st week of instruction after receiving the “I”, the “I” will be changed to “F”. When a mark of “I” is changed to a final semester grade, this shall become the grade for the semester in which the course was originally taken. Grade points and academic standing are adjusted accordingly. 14 W Withdrawal. The letter “W” is entered in the student’s record when a student officially drops a course by completing and s u b m i t t i n g an ADD/DROP form to the Office of Admissions and Records after the second week but before the 12th week of the semester with the instructor’s consent. The course will not be counted as work undertaken. R Repeating a course. A student may repeat any course in which a failing grade is received and is only allowed to make a maximum of three attempts at a particular course to achieve a grade of C. Students who already obtained a grade of C in a particular course are not allowed to repeat that course. However, under extenuating circumstances, the students may appeal in writing to the Vice-President for Academic Affairs or Academic Dean, through the Director for the Center for American Education or Head, for approval to repeat the course. The grade received in the last attempt will be used to compute the CGPA. The letter “R” will appear on the transcript, beside the most recent grade. Instructors are responsible for the evaluation of an individual student’s academic performance and the assignment of grades. American Degree Transfer Program GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA) The semester GPA is calculated by multiplying the credit hours for each course by the numerical value of the grade points of the grades received to determine the total credit points earned. The total number of credit points is then divided by the total number of credit hours completed. The following example illustrates the computation of a semester’s GPA: Course Credit 3 4 3 3 ENL 101 MAT 132 CSC 101 PSY 105 Total Grade Grade Points 3.33 3.67 4.00 2.67 B+ AA B- 13 Credit Points Semester GPA Credit 9.99 14.68 12.00 8.01 44.68 = credit hours X grade points per credit hour = total credit points ÷ total credit hours = 44.68 ÷ 13 = 3.44 15 CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA) This figure is obtained by adding up all the credit points and then dividing the sum by the total number of credit hours attempted in all the semesters. Semester One GPA = 3.44 Credit Hours Earned = 13 Total Credit Points = 44.68 Semester Two GPA = 3.67 Credit Hours Earned = 12 Total Credit Points = 43.98 Cumulative Grade Point Average = Total Credit Points ÷ Total Credit Hours earned for two semesters = (44.68 + 43.98) = 88.66 ÷ 25 = 3.55 from two semesters ÷ (13 + 12) American Degree Transfer Program SCHOLASTIC STANDING At the end of the semester and on the basis of the performance of the student in the examinations, a Grade Report is issued by the Examinations Centre / Office to show the credit hours and grades earned, the semester GPA, CGPA and scholastic standing. A. PRESIDENT’S LIST* • A student who has enrolled for at least 12 credit hours with no repeated courses and obtained a semester GPA of 4.0 will be placed on the President’s List. It indicates academic excellence. The achievement of President’s List status is recorded on the student’s grade transcript. Parents of the student are also notified of this accomplishment. B. DEAN’S LIST * • A student who has enrolled for at least 12 credit hours with no repeated courses and obtained a semester GPA of 3.50 or higher will be placed on the Dean’s List. The achievement of Dean’s List status is recorded on the student’s grade transcript. *Results of Repeated Courses are not used for their calculations. C. GOOD STANDING • A student is considered in good academic standing if his/her GPA for the semester and CGPA is 2.00 or better. D. ACADEMIC PROBATION • The College is concerned about students whose academic achievements show that they are unable to meet the expectations of their instructors or that they are experiencing other problems that may interfere with their studies. A probation action is an advisory warning that a student should take measures to improve his/her academic achievement. A student is placed 16 on probation if the semester GPA and/or CGPA falls below 2.00 or a “C” average. The probation status will be removed if the student raises his/her GPA and CGPA to 2.00 or better in the following semester. While on probation, the student will not be allowed to take more than 4 courses for that semester. The College encourages students on probation to seek the assistance of counselors and course instructors. E. SUSPENSION • A student on probation will be suspended when he/she earns a semester GPA/ CGPA of less than 2.0. F. DISMISSAL • A student is liable for dismissal : (a) if he/she earns a semester GPA of less than 1.00 for any semester and has a CGPA of less than 2.00. or (b) if he/she earns a semester GPA/CGPA of less than 2.0 upon return to the college after an academic suspension.
