Frequently Asked Questions

What should I include in a transcript?

A professional transcript must include student demographic data, a list of courses taken (usually organized by grade level or subject), the letter grade earned, credits awarded per course, and a calculated cumulative GPA. Administrator signatures make it official.

How do colleges view homeschool transcripts?

Most universities actively welcome homeschool applicants and are completely comfortable processing parent-generated transcripts. The key is ensuring the document is formatted professionally, clearly outlines the academic rigor, and relies on a standard 4.0 grading scale.

What GPA scale should I use?

The standard unweighted 4.0 scale is universally understood. (A=4.0, B=3.0, C=2.0, D=1.0). If your student took Advanced Placement (AP) or dual-enrollment college courses, you may indicate a weighted GPA (where an A=5.0), but ensure you specify the scale used.
