Any student who wishes to return to the Institute after an absence may apply to do so by contacting SIT’s admission team. SIT or DigiPen (Singapore) may require certified-true copies of transcripts from all institutions attended since last attending the Institute and other official documentation for specific circumstances as requested below:
Medical Withdrawals
A physician’s statement must be included, and it must indicate that the applicant is ready to resume studying. Additionally, it should describe any special needs the student may require upon returning to DigiPen (Singapore).
Readmission After Academic Dismissal
A statement explaining how time away from the Institute was spent, why the student wishes to return, and how the student plans to be successful by returning should be submitted as part of the application for readmission. Students dismissed for academic reasons must wait at least one year before they can matriculate. It is highly recommended that students take the time away to raise their GPA through college-level coursework in order to boost the likelihood of being readmitted.
Readmission After Disciplinary Action
Students should include a formal appeal for DigiPen (Singapore) and SIT to review along with their application for readmission. Students previously withdrawn for disciplinary reasons must receive clearance from both Institutes to return.
Readmission for Personal Reasons
There are usually no impediments to returning to the Institute if there is space available; however, an academic plan may need to be developed with the student’s advisor upon re-enrollment, and students requesting readmission after an extended period of time must meet with an academic advisor to determine the viability of completing their degree program.
Readmission After Non-Payment of Account
Outstanding accounts must first be settled before applying for readmission. Once settled, the policy for readmission follows the same guidelines listed under the Readmission for Personal Reasons section.
Exceptions to these requirements will only be made on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of SIT and the Institute.
Submission of Official Transcripts of Coursework From Other Universities/Colleges
All readmission applicants to DigiPen Institute of Technology Singapore must request an official transcript from the Institute’s Registrar’s Office to be sent to the Admissions Office as part of their application. Additionally, if the applicant has taken courses from another college since leaving the Institute, any and ALL official transcripts must be forwarded to the Admissions Office from the Registrar of each institution attended. The transcripts should show all academic work until the last semester or quarter completed. If the applicant is approved for readmission with coursework in progress, the applicant’s admission status will be provisional, pending receipt of the final transcript(s). Finally, readmission applicants who are applying for readmission more than one year after withdrawing and who are not native English speakers may have to submit additional Proof of English language proficiency. Please see the English Language Requirement under the SIT Application Guide (International Qualifications).
