EVALUATION OF TRANSFER CREDITS

Butler accepts transfer course work earned with a grade of "C" or higher from regionally accredited colleges or universities. The preliminary advising audit (PAA) specifically identifies how completed transfer course work may apply to a Butler degree program. A PAA will be sent to admitted student with their offer of admission. The audit does not include course work in progress or planned before enrollment at Butler. However, the audit will be updated when official transcripts of additional course work are received. A student who has fewer then 12 hours of transfer credit will be required to meet the criteria as defined for freshman admission, in addition to the transfer requirements. The applicant may be required to submit a course syllabus or course description in order for a course to be evaluated.

PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT AND PHARMACY PROGRAM APPLICANTS FOR THE PROFESSIONAL PHASE

An evaluation of transfer credit is completed for applicants under review for admission to the professional phase of the pharmacy or physician assistant programs. If the evaluation of transfer credits concludes that an applicant has met or is on track to meet the program prerequisites, the Office of Admission will send the applicant the PAA. Applicants who have not met the prerequisites will be considered for admission into the pre-professional phase if the student indicated an interest in the pre-professional program on the Application for Transfer Admission and Scholarships.
