Withdrawing from Individual Modules
To withdraw from individual modules without any academic penalty or tuition fee incurred, a student must submit a drop request through the IN4SIT by the 14th calendar day of a trimester. Upon successful application, no modules entries will appear on the student’s transcript for that trimester.
To withdraw from individual modules and receive “W” grade with no refund of tuition fee, a student must submit a drop request through the IN4SIT by the 49th calendar day of a trimester. Upon successful application, a final grade of “W” will be assigned to the requested module.
Withdrawing from the Institute
To formally withdraw from the Institute, a student must submit a withdrawal notice through the IN4SIT. The student will be contacted by DigiPen (Singapore)/SIT for an exit interview.
Upon withdrawing from DigiPen (Singapore) and SIT, 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. A letter of notification would be provided to student via email upon completion of the withdrawal process. The following shows the grade received upon withdrawal from the institute at various period of a trimester:
Calendar Day of A Trisemester | Grade Assigned | Included In The Computation of CGPA |
|---|---|---|
| 1st to 14th | Modules withdrawn, no grades assigned | No |
| 15th to 89th | “W” Grade | No |
| 90th to end of trimester | Final grade | Yes |
Hardship Withdrawal
Students may seek a hardship withdrawal when one of three conditions prevents a student from completing all modules: 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 module 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 Student Life and Advising Office. Once all documents are received, the Student Life and Advising Office will forward the documents to the Hardship Withdrawal Review Committee. If the committee grants a hardship withdrawal, the student will receive “W” grades in all approved modules and is ineligible to receive a letter grade in any module in that trimester. The student will be withdrawn from DigiPen (Singapore), effective the student’s last day of attendance. Students seeking readmission must abide by the Institute’s readmission policy.
