Dual Credit
Butler University accepts “dual credit”, or credit for college-level courses taken while in high school. These courses may be completed at a high school, on a college campus, or through online platforms.
Dual credit provides a jump start on your college education, giving you the flexibility to pursue second majors, minors, additional internships or study abroad during your time at Butler.
Dual credits are considered similarly to transfer credit:
- College-level coursework must be offered in partnership with an accredited college or university.
- College-level coursework must be at the 100-level or above.
- Coursework must be completed with a C- or better.
- Coursework may be applied to major or minor requirements, to Butler Core Curriculum requirements, or accepted as electives.
- Students must submit official transcripts from the partnering college or university to receive Butler credit.

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@butler.edu.
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@butler.edu.
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.
