DigiPen offers some classes within the current degree programs via distance education in the event that students and faculty cannot be in the same location at the same time. Not all classes are offered via distance education every semester. Please check with the Office of the Registrar regarding the availability of online classes for future semesters. Residential programs at DigiPen require in-person participation. Virtual or online participation of residential (in-person) classes is not permitted, except during emergency situations (e.g. weather based closures). Courses designated as hybrid or online may include streaming or other virtual and online elements.
