COLLEGE PREPARATION
The College Preparatory Program is offered to all incoming freshman students, in preparation for their academic subjects. Topics covered include Research Skills, Time Management, MS Office, and Technical Writing. The 2-week program commences on May 17, 2010, at 8.00am. All incoming Freshman students are required to attend.
Academic Support Programs
Special English Classes (RSWL) - A high school graduate is presumed to have acquired the ability in reading, writing, listening, and speaking English at level 10.0 which corresponds to ten years of schooling. Should a student fail to attain at least 10.0 in the English Diagnostic Examination, the student is required to attend the Special English classes. Students will be retested after they have completed the assigned number of hours of Special English to see if they have attained the required grade. If so, they will be permitted to enroll in their main academic program. Students may request to enter this program voluntarily at any point if they feel their English Language is insufficient for the demands of their course.
Math Enrichment Classes - A high school graduate is presumed to have acquired the ability in Mathematics at level 10.0 which corresponds to ten years of schooling. Failure to meet the grade requirement of at least 10.0 in the Math Diagnostic Exam would require attendance in the Math Enrichment classes. Students will be retested after they have completed the assigned number of hours of Math Enrichment to see if they have attained the required grade. If so, they will be permitted to enroll in their main academic program. Students may request to enter this program voluntarily at any point if they feel their Mathematics Proficiency Level is insufficient for the demands of their course.
