The Institute sets minimum requirements for all students seeking undergraduate 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 Course Catalog for the year they enter DigiPen Europe-Bilbao. Students who interrupt their attendance may be held to the requirements of the current Course Catalog when they return. Students are responsible for ensuring that all graduation requirements have been completed.
Approximately four to six weeks after students apply for graduation, a degree audit report will be issued. This report identifies courses students have taken to complete their degree requirements. This report is used to assist students in planning future coursework to ensure that all graduation requirements are met. Students should take the degree audit report with them when checking progress toward graduation with their academic advisor and/or the Office of the Administration. Students are responsible for notifying the Office of the Administration of any changes in their proposed programs and for resolving any questions prior to registering for their final term at DigiPen Europe-Bilbao.
All Incomplete grades and conditions affecting graduation must be removed from the student’s record by the last regular class period of the term. All credit coursework affecting graduation must be completed by the regular class period of the term. A letter of instruction is mailed to degree candidates in March regarding deadlines and procedures for commencement-related activities.
Undergraduate 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 Administration.
