Readmission
Readmission applicants may apply to return to a valid DigiPen degree plan. The degree plan placement is decided by the Office of the Registrar and is not open to student choice.
- A student who wishes to return to DigiPen after a break in enrollment may apply to do so by completing a readmission application and submitting required materials. Students who are suspended due to academic or disciplinary reason may not return to the Institute until the semester following the suspension period. Students may apply for readmission to their eligible semester as soon as the admission period for that semester opens and applicable materials are available for submission. An interview may also be required as part of the readmission process. DigiPen cannot guarantee readmission into a student’s original degree plan d ue to limited availability of course offerings from previous degree curricula. The decision on degree plan is made by the Institute and is not open to student choice. Visit the Readmission Process page on our website for more information.

DigiPen Initiated Degree Plan Change

As such, DigiPen may determine that a more updated degree plan will be more beneficial to students in terms of program outcomes and occupational outlook. The degree plans for programs are reviewed by the respective Program Director, the Registrar, the Director of Student Success, the Dean of Faculty, and the VP of Compliance and Regulatory Affairs.
