INTRODUCTION

American Degree Transfer Program

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

(fo rmerly known as INTI Col lege Malays ia and INTI In ternat ional Un ivers i ty

Co l lege 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.

AMERICAN EDUCATION SYSTEM

In order for students at INTI to best understand what is involved in acquiring a degree from a

U.S. college or - university, a brief explanation of the American education system is provided

below.

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 5 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 en ro l 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 en ro l l for 15 quarter hours (3 courses) per quarter.

American Degree Transfer Program

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 Class Standing Credit Hours Earned

First Year Freshman 0 - 30 Second Year Sophomore 31 - 60 Third Year Junior 61 - 90 Fourth Year Senior 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 and

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 post-

secondary 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)

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.

8 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, t h e 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 9

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.

GRADING SYSTEM AND GRADE POINT AVERAGE

All courses and assigned studies a r e graded on a 4.0 scale expressed according to the following letter

system.

Grade

Symbol Explanation Grade Point

Per Credit Hour

A+ Superior 4.00 A Outstanding 4.00 A- Excellent 3.67 B+ Very Good 3.33 B Good 3.00 B- Above Average 2.67 C+ Satisfactory 2.33 C Average 2.00 C- Below Average 1.67 D+ Poor 1.33 D Inferior 1.00 F Failed 0.00

I A temporary mark of “I” for Incomplete may be given to a student who has not completed

all course requirements, including the final examination due to unforeseen but fully

justifiable circumstances. If the student does not complete all the course requirements

14 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.

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 Grade Grade Points Credit

ENL 101

3

B+

3.33

9.99 MAT 132 4 A- 3.67 14.68 CSC 101 3 A 4.00 12.00 PSY 105 3 B- 2.67 8.01

Total 13 44.68

Credit Points

=

credit hours X grade points per credit hour

Semester GPA = 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 from two semesters

= (44.68 + 43.98) ÷ (13 + 12)

= 88.66 ÷ 25

= 3.55

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

16 a student should take measures to improve his/her academic achievement. A student is placed

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
