Intercampus Transfer Policy

Intercampus Transfers are students who have enrolled in a DigiPen degree program and wish to permanently transfer to another DigiPen campus. Students who intend to complete an intercampus transfer should first meet with their current campus Office of the Registrar to request official transcripts and to discuss the transfer requirements. Then the student should submit a completed Application for Campus Transfer to the Office of Admissions for the campus to which they wish to transfer. This application should include the application form, an essay on why they wish to transfer, and a completed transfer checklist. Students who wish to transfer should start the process as early as possible to allow enough time for materials transfer and preparing appropriate visa paperwork. Applications must be submitted by the following deadlines:

Transfer Semester Deadline
FallJuly 1
SpringDecember 1

Students will be notified by the Office of Admissions of the transfer campus whether the applications are approved or denied.

Students are eligible to apply for intercampus transfers any time after matriculation and prior to the completion of 75% of the entire program in which they enrolled. A minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 is required for intercampus transfer. In order to earn an undergraduate degree from the DigiPen campus to which students wish to transfer, the following conditions must be satisfied (in addition to the program and graduation requirements):

  1. Students should complete a minimum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the credits required for the undergraduate degree program at the DigiPen campus awarding the degree;
  2. At a minimum, students must maintain matriculated/active status for at least one academic year and complete the final semester at the campus awarding the degree.

Students may contact the Office of the Registrar at their current campus for more information on transfer requirements, deadlines, and any other special procedures.
