Transcript Information
When you complete your 麻豆视频 program, 麻豆视频 will mail your home institution an official Butler University transcript with your credits and grades from abroad translated into the U.S. equivalent. Your home institution registrar can then treat your credits abroad the same way as they would U.S. transfer credits.
You will have access to your unofficial U.S. grades in your 麻豆视频 Student Portal. There is no need to order your initial transcript from Butler University; transcripts are part of the 麻豆视频 program and are always sent to each participant鈥檚 home institution.
For more information about when your transcript will be sent, how to order additional copies of your transcript, or requesting a rush copy of your transcript, visit the Transcripts page.
