Butler Advanced Placement Credits
Students entering Butler University will have the opportunity to
take Placement
Tests in their language. Based on performance on these tests,
students may be eligible for Butler Advanced Placement Credits.
Students placing at the 300-level are eligible for 9 Butler
Advanced Placement credits (upon completion of 2 300-level
credits). Students placing at 203 or 204 level may also gain 3 or 6
Butler Advanced Placement credits respectively (upon completion of
2 300-level credits). These credits count toward major or minor
programs in languages. Please fill out the Advanced Placement Credits
Form. DO NOT SUBMIT THIS APPLICATION UNTIL BOTH
300-LEVEL CLASSES ARE COMPLETE!
AP Credit
Students who score a 4 or 5 on AP Tests will receive 3 300-level
credits in their language once proof of tests has been submitted to
the university Registrar. Students will also remain eligible for 9
Butler Advanced Placement Credits and will begin
their Butler language program at the 300-level.
CLEP Credit
Students who pass the CLEP exam with a score of 50 or above are
also eligible for college credit at Butler. Please see the
department head for specific details.
College Level Credit
Students who have completed college-level language classes while
still in High School can transfer those credits to Butler and
receive college credit. Students will then continue on the same
track as they had left off on after their college-level courses.
Please have documents such as course syllabi ready to help transfer
process go smoothly. All credit transfer issues will run through
the Butler University Registrar's office with any interpretation
done by the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures &
Cultures.
