Advisors
All students enrolled in credit courses have academic advisors. If

should consult with the proper advisor. A personal interview may be
necessary and at that time you will be registered by your advisor, or
allowed to register through the Butler University portal My.Butler.edu.
Drop/add and withdrawal. Self-Service Registration is available
through the first week of class. After the first week of class, all changes
must have the signature of the instructor as well as the advisor.
The change is effective on the date it is processed by the Office of
Registration and Records, usually the same day received.
Audit for enrichment
The Audit for Enrichment (AFE) program is designed for adults who
have achieved at least a high school diploma to participate in some
courses. All persons must make application to this program at least
30 days prior to the first day of class. With your first application,
you will be asked to provide transcripts of your highest level
academic work. You will be notified of your acceptance into the
program by the registrar. If you have been part of the AFE program
in the prior two years, it is not necessary to provide transcripts again.
Departmental approval is required for all AFE enrollment. Courses
taken in this program are not listed on an official transcript nor
may you change your enrollment to “credit” later in the semester.
You may register as early as the first day of class and all registrations
are on a space-available basis. Auditors will not have access to any
electronic resources associated with the course. The audit for
enrichment fee of $100 per credit hour is payable at the time of
registration and is not refundable. For an application, visit the
registrar’s office in Jordan Hall, Room 133.
