6 Tips For a Homeschool High School Transcript

Colleges

Colleges differ in how many credits they want entering students to have in various subject areas. If you know that your graduate is college-bound, check with the admissions office of the school of your choice to identify their requirements or guidelines.

Employers

Some employers also require high school transcripts along with the high school diploma.

Use as a Report card

Use your child’s transcripts as an annual report card. This is especially helpful when applying for good driverdiscounts on auto insurance and work permits when employers need them, or to accompany resumes/applications forvolunteer and paid positions, etc.

Summarize Your Record Keeping

Summarize your record keeping with a carefully prepared transcript. It reports in a concise way the total of your students schooling. Behind that transcript should stand a portfolio of work samples, detailed test information, SAT record, recommendations from employers and directors of extracurricular activities, etc. With this information available, you will be ready to answer any questions when they come up.

Give Full Name

You will need to indicate full legal name, current address,gender, birthday, parent or legal guardian name, and a Social Security number (this is very important if you are applying for any financial aid to go to college).

Keep It Simple

limit yourself to two pages (or one sheet front and back) for your printed transcript. Transcripts are supposed to give a summary of achievement- just enough to know at a glance who the student is and what he has done. In academic and most employment circles, anything more than two pages becomes to much.

Do Not Procrastinate

Procrastination will always damage your ability to create a highschool transcript that presents your student’s work in the best possible light. If you wait until the last minute, you will forget important details and of course grades. Keep accurate record keeping and download free record keeping sheets.

Difference Between Accredited Transcript and Official Home School Transcript:

Just as Homeschool credits are official, a homeschool transcript is official. Homeschool transcripts are usually NOT accredited, however. Homeschoolers do not have to pay for the word "accredited" when their own homeschool transcript is official.

There are some schools that are not accredited, just like homeschools are not accredited. Many private Christian schools are not accredited, yet they still give out official transcripts for students to get into college. Independent homeschool transcripts may not accredited, but they are official when you act within your state law.
