The sample is marked SAMPLE; the student and school are made up.
What goes on a homeschool transcript
School and student: your homeschool’s name and address (a city and state is enough on the web), the student’s full legal name, and the dates they entered and graduated (or will graduate). Some colleges also ask for a birth date.
Courses by year: each course’s name, its level (regular, honors, AP or dual credit), the final grade and the credits. Use specific names, such as Algebra II, Biology with Lab or American Literature, rather than “Math” or “Science.”
GPA and credits: the cumulative GPA, weighted and unweighted if you weight honors work, and total credits, with credits by subject.
Test scores such as the SAT, ACT or CLT, and AP or CLEP exams.
Activities, service and awards, briefly. A resume carries the detail.
Your grading scale and what a credit means, so a reader can interpret the grades.
A signed statement from the parent as school administrator, with the date.
Course descriptions usually go as a separate document: a paragraph per course on what was studied, the main materials and how the work was graded.
Make your own. Work out a GPA in a minute with the free GPA calculator, or keep the whole record in Transcripts, free while we’re in beta: report cards, transcripts, course descriptions, a diploma, and a check for mistakes before you send it.
A sample to learn from, not a template a school requires. Colleges and states differ; check what each one asks for.
