New incoming undergraduate students will have modules pre-allocated in the first trimester. Please check your class schedule via SIT IN4SIT two weeks before the class starts.
Before you arrive for the start of classes, it’s a good idea to make a checklist of any remaining tasks to complete and supplies to obtain. By coming prepared on day one, you’ll give yourself the best opportunity to succeed in your freshman year and beyond.
The resources below will help organize your preparation for the academic year, and Student Life and Advising is available to answer any other questions you have. Contact us by sending a message to studentlife.sg@digipen.edu.
Why the Nude Model Is Necessary
As an incoming student entering our BFA in Digital Art and Animation program, you must agree to participate in the study of the nude form. DigiPen (Singapore) maintains that this practice best prepares digital artists and animators for their future careers.
Digital Art and Animation Materials List
Here you will find art supply lists for various classes along with links to art stores in the area.
Mechatronics Systems Materials List
Here you will find the engineering tools list for various classes. Please refer to your orientation email if you would like more information about purchasing the materials.
New Student Orientation and Orientation T-shirts
All incoming students are strongly encouraged to attend the New Student Orientation before the start of the trimester. Learn more about the different DigiPen (Singapore) departments, academic policies, and information regarding your orientation t-shirt.
Credits Exemption and Transfer of Credits
Students who have completed relevant modules during their postsecondary education, which are comparable in scope, content, and academic quality to modules offered at DigiPen (Singapore), may apply for a one-time credit exemption through IN4SIT. Applications will be accepted from 8 to 17 July 2024 for the incoming cohort. Only complete applications submitted within the application period will be considered.
Online Bridging Courses on Math and Physics for Incoming Design, Computer Science, and Engineering Students
You are strongly encouraged to complete the Math Quest and Physics Quest online courses offered by SIT to help you revise and refresh your pre-university fundamentals before starting the first trimester. Look out for an email in June from SIT Quests that will be sent to your SIT email address with instructions on how you can take the courses.
DigiPen (Singapore) Account Set-up
In addition to SIT accounts, all undergraduate students are required to activate their DigiPen user ID to access the DigiPen (Singapore) platform before the orientation. This account allows access to the Student Records System (SRS), Distance (Moodle), DigiPen WebMail, and Microsoft Office 365. Instructions to create your DigiPen user ID will be sent to your personal email during the first two weeks in August. Account creation should be completed before orientation. If you have any questions or issues setting up your DigiPen user ID, please contact helpdesk.sg@digipen.edu.
