CIC ADMISSION GUIDE 2012/2013 

Canadian International College (CIC) was established in 2004, as the only 

provider of Canadian Education in Egypt. It started as an associate campus of 

Cape Breton University (CBU), located in Nova Scotia, Canada. CIC has 

programs in Business Administration, Business Information Technology and 

Engineering Technology and grants both Canadian university degrees from Cape 

Breton University and Egyptian degrees accredited by the Egyptian Ministry of

associate campus of The University of Ottawa in Ontario, Canada. It offers an 

Honours Bachelor of Arts in Communication program and grants both Canadian

range of cooperation to offer three degrees in the field of Engineering (Civil, 

Mechanical and Electrical). 

In 2011 an articulation agreement was signed between CIC Business Information 

Technology program and the University of Windsor where CIC students can 

apply to transfer to UWindsor at any time during their study to complete their

All students, registering at CIC, whose “mother tongue” is not English, and 

who do not have a valid TOEFL iBT/ IELTS score, must take an English 

Placement Test (EPT). 

• EPTs are held 2 days/week (Tuesdays & Thursdays) from 20/5/2012 until 

20/7/2012, after which EPTs will be held 3 days/week (Mondays, 

Tuesdays & Thursdays). 



• Students should contact student admissions to book a test date, as they 

will not be allowed to take an EPT without a booking. 

• EPTs are divided into 2 parts: the written section which is held from 10:30 

to 12:30 and the oral section which is starts at 1:00 p.m. Students will not 

be allowed to take the EPT if they are more than 10 mins late. 

• The EPT is the same for all CIC students. Students may take the 

placement test a second time providing two weeks have elapsed between 

tests. 

• Students are not allowed to take the placement test more than 3 times. 

• Students, who score less than 1 on the EPT, must wait for two weeks 

before re-taking the EPT. If repeated with same result (less than 1) for 

both retakes of the test, the student will not be accepted into CIC unless 

his/her English proficiency improves and they are able to achieve the 

required score. 

• Both Student Affairs & Student Support departments must advise all new 

CIC student applicants to pick up the English Placement Orientation 

Booklet before taking the test. 

• Progressive EPT’s are offered at the end of each semester to encourage 

students to jump levels according to their new score on the EPT. 

Students are allowed to register in the higher level if they achieve the 

required score. Students have to pass the IEP course in which they were 

previously enrolled in order to take the Progressive EPT. Progressive 

EPTs must be completed before the start of classes for the current 

semester. 

• All test re-takes must be completed before the start of classes for the 

current semester. 

INTENSIVE ENGLISH PROGRAM (IEP) 

• For non-credit English courses, students are placed according to their 

score on the EPT, unless they provide an official English proficiency exam 

score that qualifies them for credit English courses in the Canadian 

programs. 

• The student who fails an IEP course is allowed to re-take it, however he 

will not be allowed to take any other CREDIT courses. 



• As a result of a second failure in any IEP course, an approval from the 

Academic Council is required to re-take this course. A third failure will 

mean dismissal from CIC. 

Passing grade for English courses 

Students must attain a 60% (Canadian and Joint Programs) and 50% 

(Egyptian Program) passing grade in Eng 99, 100 and BL. For Eng 101

requirements. However, in case of registering in courses he/she failed in, 

scholarship is not applied. (Students enjoying scholarship must fill in a 

form from the Students Affairs Department to verify their case). 

� Financial Aid 

CIC grants financial aid to students who are in need of financial assistance. All 

requests for financial aid are treated on a case by case basis. 

Students who wish to apply for financial aid must submit a financial aid form with 

supporting documents to the Student Affairs Department by the end of the 

Registration Period. 

Financial Aids are handled by a special committee who determines the eligibility 

of the requests presented. 

Financial aid grants are eligible for a period of one academic year. Students must 

renew their financial aid grants to continue their eligibility for that aid. Recipients 

who remain eligible and continue to demonstrate financial need will be granted a 

renewal. The amount and kind of aid a student receives will be reviewed each 

year so that any changes in fees and in family resources can be taken into 



account. A student's award may increase, decrease, or remain the same from 

year to year, depending upon CIC fees, and the family's current financial ability. 

Financial Aid may not be available to those transferring to Canada.

Student Life & Sports 

CIC’S dedication to quality is represented throughout the entire learning 

experience in a community that recognizes students’ priorities and fosters 

growth, sharing and creativity.

professors are committed to providing quality education to learners in an 

accessible, student-friendly environment. CIC’s average class size is 

approximately 50 students, offering both students and teachers the opportunity to

also encourages them to live a full and well-rounded student life within the 

college. This is available through the diverse extracurricular activities offered by 

CIC. 

CIC’s Students’ Union initiates programs and activities to serve both students 

and the community. 

Students are encouraged to set up additional students clubs and organizations, 

which give them the opportunity to get to know other students, get involved in 

activities they enjoy, and share their interests with others. These clubs may 

include a range of interests such as science, arts, or the environment. 

CIC has a basketball court, a volleyball court, and a soccer field. CIC has various 

sports teams and students are encouraged to play, whether on a competitive 

level, or just for fun. An equipped gymnasium is also available for student use. 

CIC regularly organizes and sponsors special student activities such as trips 

(both local and abroad), parties, special outings, and theme-related days. 

Students are encouraged to suggest activities for implementation, and to 

participate in these events on either an organizational level, or through their 

attendance.
