Transfer Credits from Other Colleges and Universities
Butler University frequently accepts transfer credits from other colleges and universities, with numerous courses pre-approved for credit transfer. Courses without pre-approval can also be assessed individually for transfer credit.
How do I know if my courses will transfer?
Courses completed at an accredited institution, at the 100 level or higher, and with a grade of C- or better, are eligible for transfer credit evaluation. Transfer credits can be applied toward academic major courses, electives, or the Butler Core Curriculum. For more information about how coursework from other colleges and universities will transfer, consult the Butler University Bulletin.
To see a listing of courses taken at select institutions that are commonly transferred to Butler, please utilize Transferology. Transferology is a self-service website students can use to explore how courses may transfer to Butler. After creating an account, select the Will My Courses Transfer? pathway at the top of the site.
The list of institutions/courses is not comprehensive, and serves only as a list of courses previously evaluated by the Butler University registrar. Courses not listed still have the potential to transfer for Butler University credit. If you don’t see your institution listed, or if a course you’re interested in doesn’t appear, please contact the Butler Office of Registration and Records at registrar@dominatedgirls.net.
This information is for prospective/new Butler students. Equivalencies outlined on this page are applicable only for students transferring into Butler from another university and are not applicable for current or continuing Butler students, even if they are taken over the summer. Current and continuing Butler students wishing to transfer credit into Butler should follow the processes outlined here.
Butler University reserves the right to make changes to any course equivalency at any time without notice due to curriculum changes at Butler University or the transferring institution.

To award transfer credit at Butler University, we require official transcripts with final grades (no copies, scans, faxes, or personal email submissions). Transcripts must come directly from the college or university that provided the coursework. High school transcripts cannot be used for dual or concurrent credit courses.
There are multiple ways to submit an official transcript:
Electronically: For colleges and universities that issue official electronic transcripts, the transcripts can be sent directly from the institution to admission@dominatedgirls.net.
By Mail: Send directly from the institution to:
Butler University
Office of Admission
4600 Sunset Avenue
Indianapolis, IN 46208
Deliver in Person: Students who wish to hand deliver the college transcript may do so, but the transcripts must be submitted in the issuing institution’s original sealed envelope. Opened transcripts are not considered official. Transcripts should be delivered to the Office of Registration and Records in Jordan Hall.
Once admitted, the Office of Registration and Records will evaluate your submitted transcripts to determine the transferability of your credits. You will receive a detailed evaluation of how your credits apply toward Butler’s Core Curriculum, your major, and/or electives.
