What does a College look for on a transcript?
| Homeschool
Most colleges and universities recognizes that transripts from home schoolers may vary widely from family to family. However, all high school transcripts must meet certain standards to facilitate an admission decision and academic placement should the applicant be admitted.
Records should indicate the courses completed; the credits, units, or hours associated with each course; and a letter or numerical grade indicating the student's level of performance in that subject area for that year. Any SAT or ACT college entrance exam results should be clearly reported.
Courses or subjects reflected on the transcript should be organized by grade level (9 through 12) and date.
Final transcripts to be considered "final" must include a "Graduation Date" and a signature from the school administrator (usually a parent).
