How it works
Add the student and your school
Your teen's name and date of birth, your homeschool's name and address, and the month they graduate. The four school years are dated from it.
Type each year's courses
Pick a course from the suggestions or type your own, then its credits and grade. Mark honors, AP and dual enrollment courses, and leave the grade empty for a course still in progress.
Print, sign and send
Download the PDF, print it at 100% and sign and date it as the administrator. Your courses stay saved in this browser, so next year you only add the new ones.
What's on the transcript
- Grades 9 to 12 side by side, each with its school year
- Every course with its credits and grade, honors, AP and dual enrollment marked H, AP and DE
- Each year's GPA, the total credits and the cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale, weighted too if you like
- The grading scale with percents and grade points, and notes for test scores or where a course was taken
- A statement to certify, with lines to sign and date as the parent and administrator
- Nothing of ours on the page: no logo and no web address, just your school's name at the top
- One page, US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) or A4; a second only with very many courses
What goes on a homeschool transcript
Colleges look for the same things on every transcript: the student's name and date of birth, the school's name and address, the courses taken each year with the credits and grade for each, the GPA, the graduation date, a grading scale and a signature from the school's administrator. For a homeschool, the administrator is you.
Most homeschool transcripts list the courses by year, as this one does. Keep course descriptions and reading lists in a separate document: they don't fit on a one-page transcript, and the colleges that want them will ask.
How to calculate a homeschool GPA
Give each grade its points (A = 4.0, A− = 3.7, B+ = 3.3 and so on), multiply by the course's credits, add those up and divide by the total credits. A half-credit course counts half as much as a full one, and pass/fail courses earn credit but stay out of the GPA. The template does the math for each year and for all four.
A weighted GPA adds 0.5 for honors courses and 1.0 for AP and dual enrollment courses, so an A in an AP course counts as 5.0. Show it beside the unweighted GPA if your teen took harder courses. Many colleges recalculate GPAs their own way, so the unweighted GPA always comes first.
How many credits does a homeschooler need?
A credit usually stands for a year-long course, roughly 120 to 180 hours of work; a semester course is half a credit. College-prep transcripts often have 22 to 26 credits: four of English, three or four each of math, science and social studies, two or more years of one foreign language, and electives.
Some states set graduation requirements for homeschoolers and many don't. Check your state on HSLDA's legal pages (hslda.org/legal), and the admission pages of the colleges your teen is looking at.
Questions
- Is the homeschool transcript template free?
- Yes. Fill it in, preview it and download the PDF as often as you like, with no account. What you type is saved in this browser, so you can add next year's courses later. The email signup is optional.
- How do I make a homeschool transcript?
- List your teen's high school courses by year with the credits and final grade for each, work out the GPA, add a grading scale and sign it as the administrator. With this template you type the courses and grades; the GPA, the credits, the school years and the grading scale fill themselves in.
- Is a homeschool transcript official?
- It is once you, the parent who runs the homeschool, sign and date it. Colleges accept transcripts made by homeschool parents every year. Some want it sent straight from you, by mail in a sealed envelope or through their application portal, so check each college's admission page for homeschoolers.
- How do I calculate a homeschool GPA?
- Multiply each grade's points by the course's credits, add them up and divide by the total credits: an A (4.0) in a full-credit course and a B (3.0) in a half-credit course give (4.0 + 1.5) ÷ 1.5 = 3.67. The template does this for each year and overall, and adds a weighted GPA for honors, AP and dual enrollment if you want one.
- Can I make a transcript before my teen graduates?
- Yes. Leave the grade empty for courses still in progress: they print as IP, their credits are counted apart, and the date at the top says Expected graduation. Applications in the fall of 12th grade usually go in with a transcript like that.
- Where do 8th grade and dual enrollment courses go?
- A high school course taken in 8th grade, like Algebra I, can go in 9th grade's list with a line in the notes. A dual enrollment course goes in the year your teen took it, marked DE; name the college in the notes and ask the college to send its own transcript too.
