How to Get Transcripts Right
How to Get Homeschool Transcripts Exactly Right. Or else! Well, not really. However, transcripts are important so here is how we do our transcripts.
There isn’t really a magical formula or necessary downloadable form from your state government that you must fill out.
Remember: There’s not ONE right way to homeschool high school…OR complete a transcript.
Include:
- Name
- Date of Birth
- Social Security (totally optional)
- Address
- Contact information (email address, optional)
- Title of your homeschool (optional)
- For most transcripts, break out courses taken by year with name of course, levels, amount of credit, grade.
- Course Summary section (compilation of courses, along with the grade those courses were taken. This is optional.)
- Use sparkle titles where applicable (ie. if your teen covered World History credit using History and Philosophy of the Western World, use that title)
- Extracurriculars
- Service hours
- Competitions
- GPA
- Graduation date
- SAT or ACT scores
Suggestion:
- Keep backup document with course descriptions
- Do some research on college, sports and military requirements by visiting websites, recruiters
- There are transcript programs out there. Use those or make your own.
- Remember to keep your integrity.
