The Institute sets minimum graduation requirements for all students seeking degrees. DigiPen reserves the right to change graduation requirements at any time. Every degree candidate is expected to comply with changes in requirements as they relate to the uncompleted portion of coursework.
Most students will follow the graduation requirements published in the Catalog for the year they enter DigiPen. Students may find their Catalog Year in Colleague Self-Service (CSS). Graduating students must be actively enrolled during their final semester at DigiPen. Students who interrupt their attendance may be held to the requirements of the current Catalog when they return. Students are responsible for ensuring that all graduation requirements have been completed.
Students who feel there is justification for an exception to these graduation requirements may petition the Appeals and Disciplinary Committee. Information on filing a petition is available at the Office of the Registrar.
