What goes on a homeschool transcript

  • Your homeschool’s name and address, as the issuing school.
  • The student’s name, date of birth, and dates of entry and graduation.
  • Every high school course, grouped by year, with a grade and a credit value.
  • Credits earned for each year and in total, and a cumulative GPA.
  • The grading scale, so a reader knows what an A means at your school.
  • Your signature as administrator, and the date.
  • Optional, often requested: test scores, activities, and course descriptions.

For the longer version, including how to grade honestly and what admissions readers actually check, see the homeschool transcript guide.

Is a homeschool transcript official if I make it myself?

Yes. In a homeschool the parent is the school administrator, and the transcript you issue and sign is your school’s official record. Admissions offices see parent-issued transcripts all the time. What they look for is a clear, consistent document, which is what this tool produces.

How is the GPA calculated?

Each grade is converted to points on a 4.0 scale (A = 4.0, A- = 3.7, B+ = 3.3 and so on), multiplied by the course’s credits, and divided by the total credits graded. Pass (P) and in-progress (IP) courses are left out. If you mark any course Honors (+0.5) or AP or dual enrollment (+1.0), a weighted GPA is shown as well, beside the unweighted one, because many colleges recalculate GPA their own way.

How many credits is a course worth?

The common convention is the Carnegie unit: 1 credit for a full-year course of about 120 to 180 hours, 0.5 for a one-semester course. A light elective may be 0.25.

Do I need course descriptions?

Many colleges ask for them from homeschoolers, and they are the easiest way to show what a course actually covered. Add a short paragraph to any course and the PDF puts them on their own pages after the transcript.

Does it need to be notarized?

Usually not, but some colleges and programs ask for a notarized homeschool transcript. The PDF has a signature and date line for that. Check each college’s homeschool admissions page.

What does my state require?

Requirements for homeschool records and graduation differ by state, and this tool does not decide them for you. Our state pages summarise each state’s homeschool law. See homeschool requirements by state.

Or let the transcript build itself

In Letters & Devotion, every high school course already carries a written course description, and grades come from what your child actually mastered, skill by skill, rather than from a number you have to defend. Add your school’s details once and the official transcript is one click, with a Bible course in every year alongside the academics.
