* Diplomas awarded by Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) and LASALLE College of the Arts will be

considered on a case-by-case basis for the BFA in Digital Art and Animation programme.

Note:

Credit transfers and duration of studies will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.

Students who have relevant post-secondary qualifications may complete DigiPen’s degree

programmes within seven semesters. To be eligible for the abridged programme, students must

successfully satisfy the following criteria:

1. The course(s) being evaluated must be taken at a bona fide, legitimate institution recognised

and approved by a regulatory authority that oversees the educational system in the country

where the institution is located. These courses must appear on official transcripts from the

institution. The final decision regarding the transfer credits remains at DigiPen’s discretion.

2. The course(s) must be comparable in academic quality to DigiPen courses including the

number of credits or contact hours. Application will be denied for courses not meeting this

standard.

3. Transfer credit will be considered for courses in which the grade of “B -” or better is recorded.

“Credit” or “Pass” grades will not be accepted for transfer credit.

4. Course(s) transferred to a student’s major may also require a validation examination in order
