Transcripts A transcript is a school report which includes a student's courses, grades,
credit and basic personal information including name, address, etc. If your child is college bound you and he/she should consult several colleges that they are interested in to see what their minimum requirements are. You may also choose to complete the local Public School Requirements, but you are not required to do so. If you will be enrolling a child or children into a private or public school you should consider preparing a transcript for the years that you have homeschooled them. This will help to aid you, and your child/ren will have an easier transition into the school. You may choose to update your student's transcript yearly. This would be very beneficial in maintaining an accurate transcript for them. Even if your child is not college bound, you need to prepare a transcript for them. File it when you are done, and give them a copy to file. They may decide to enter college in a year or two, or somewhere in the future; and you will have what they need, their homeschool transcript. Please remember to type all information on your transcript forms. Student Identification Basic Information on the Student School Identification Basic Information on your home school Student's Academic History A unit or credit is defined as five 45 minute periods each week for 36 weeks (basically 45 minutes for 180 days). Courses that were taken for 45 minutes for 18 weeks (or 45 minutes for 90 days) would be issued ˝ credit. Usually non- academic courses such as Home Economics and/or Cooking would be the ones issued as ˝ credit. T.E.A.C.H. encourages its members to be above reproach and to issue 1 credit (one Carnegie unit) for 200 hours (a Carnegie unit = 150, 170, or 190 hours). Grades It would not be wise to use a pass/fail system. A pass/fail system could hurt the rating given to your student by colleges. Student's Academic Summary List the GPA
(grade point average), and mark the credits earned in the appropriate space. Additional Student Information Test Scores (Primarily Grades 10-12) It is T.E.A.C.H.'s recommendation for those students college bound to take the SAT or ACT at least once a year in the 9th 12th grades. Additionally, the PSAT should be taken in the 11th grade year. A repeat exam late in the 11th grade or up to the middle of the 12th grade may show a good raise in the students scores (especially if higher level studies were done along with studying a guide to prepare for the test.)
