Butler University offers advanced placement with appropriate academic credit in most subject areas covered by Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses and College Level Examination Program (CLEP) examinations. Applicants should request that their AP and CLEP scores be reported directly to the Office of Registration and Records from the College Board. Butler’s school code is 1073. IB transcripts must be sent directly to the Office of Admission from the International Baccalaureate Organization. Students earning AP (scores of 4 or 5), IB (scores 5–7), or transfer credits have these credits applied to major requirements (at the discretion of the department), or counted as electives fulfilling Butler degree requirements. For additional complete information see www.butler.edu/registrar/transferring-credits-to-butler.
