Certain students (VA, athletes, and select Financial Aid recipients) are required to provide all official transcripts to the Registrar's Office. All official transcripts on file will be used in the determination of Financial Aid eligibility.
Placement is required for English, Math and some academic programs at Butler. This is determined by submitting your high school transcripts and/or ACT/SAT scores. After Butler receives your high school transcripts and/or ACT/SAT scores, please contact Advising to see if placement testing is required.
316-322-3163 or advising@butlercc.edu
If placement testing is needed, please complete testing prior to enrolling in classes. In addition to English and Math, testing is available for those looking to test out of other college courses and earn credit for what they already know as well as GED testing.
Next, you can apply for financial aid and scholarships to help you pay for your degree.
As a New Student, our academic advisors will help you every step of the way. Your advisor will discuss your degree plan, majors of interest, and help you schedule classes. Be sure to bring a copy of your ACT/SAT test scores and high school or previous college transcripts to your first meeting if you have not already submitted those to the Registrar’s office. Those in the military community looking to use benefits must inform their advisors.
You can walk-in during office hours to meet with an advisor or schedule an in-person or virtual (not phone) appointment.
