From Individual Courses
To withdraw from individual courses, a student must complete the appropriate withdrawal form, either in person or online.
From the Institute
To formally withdraw from the Institute, a student must submit a completed Withdrawal Notice Form to the Office of the Administration. Withdrawal Notice Forms may be obtained from the Office of the Administration.
Upon withdrawing from DigiPen Europe-Bilbao, the student shall immediately return all materials in the student’s possession relating to the program, whether created by the student or other students or provided by the Institute.
Hardship Withdrawal
Students may seek a hardship withdrawal when one of three conditions prevents a student from completing all courses: death of a close family member, severe/terminal illness in the family, or injury or illness that incapacitates the student. Hardship withdrawals may be sought any time after the last date to withdraw from classes, as listed in the Academic Calendar, but not after all materials for a course have been completed (i.e., after submitting the final exam or final assignment). The Hardship Withdrawal Form, a personal statement, and appropriate documentation (i.e., death certificate, obituary, letter from a state-licensed physician or mental health professional) must be provided to support all requests to the Administration Office. Once all documents are received, the Administrator will forward the documents to the Hardship Withdrawal Review Committee.
f the Committee grants a hardship withdrawal, the student will receive “W” grades in all approved courses and is ineligible to receive a grade or an incomplete in any class in that semester. The student will be withdrawn from DigiPen Europe-Bilbao, effective the student’s last day of attendance. Regular refund policies apply. Students seeking readmission must abide by DigiPen’s readmission policy.
