Early College/DE Transcript Question

[igbu]

DS1 took high school Spanish 1, Biology, etc this year (8th grade), and this summer (which will be counted for 9th grade) he is attending a JHU-CTY Comp Sci Intensive Study.

 

This coming fall DS1 will likely take a couple classes at a nearby local college.

 

First question: if DS1takes Spanish 1 as one of his first Early College classes at a local College, would (or how would) you include his high school Spanish on his transcript? He would have Spanish 1 as a high school class and again as one of his first college classes. We anticipate having him take Span 1, 2, and 3 as well as other classes (Comp. Sci.) in the coming year or so. Would you include both the HS Spanish 1 and the college Spanish 1 on a transcript?

 

Second question, how have folks listed the CTY Intensive study classes? Would it be an extracurricular residential camp or credit as a class? He has many camps and teams that make up a lot of programming and robotics time.

 

Thanks in advanceðŸ‘

Can you list the high school Spanish as "Introduction to Spanish" and then the others as "College Spanish 101, 102, 103"?

We listed DS"s one year of high school Japanese as Introduction to Japanese followed by Japanese 1, 2, and 3 (using the college codes for the courses e.g. Japanese 120, 121, 220, etc.) from the community college (transcript sent with the application shows which ones were at college level).

 

For the second question, you could list it based on need. If your DS has ample academic credits, list it as an extracurricular. If he has ample extracurriculars, list it in the relevant academic subject section.

Based on this description, I might choose academic credit over extracurricular if he has sufficient extracurriculars.

DD’s college classes are listed on the high school transcript as Course number Name. Since high school classes don’t have that, it’s pretty obvious that it’s a college class.

 

So, for example, she has Algebra I, II, and Geometry, and has Math 1420-Algebra and Geometry techniques (which is a course for prospective math teachers).

 

DD hasn’t done a CTY intensive, but is racking up a lot of hours that technically qualify for CEUs or graduate credit due to doing workshops and short courses, mostly in education. Right now, we’re listing these, like her Herpetology conferences and work, on her resume. If she ends up needing another class, we’ll revisit that, but I think it’s a lot stronger that she’s interested enough in science outreach and doing a good job with local group she started and online classes that she leads that she does teaching workshops and education conferences than it would be to have a 1 credit high school class in Science education or Elementary Education.

As we travel this road of DS1 and DS2 being AL’s and now homeschoolers, we have learned so much from all of you on these boards. Thanks everyone.

 

We like the idea of showing both classes (high school and early college) and using the college course tile (e.g., SPA101: Spanish I). We may add a notes column to our transcript and include where the courses were taken (college name).

 

The CTY summer study was so great and offered so much beyond the course work (which was intensive) it seems a shame to only list it as a class credit on the transcript, which is our current thought.

 

Thanks again everyoneðŸ‘
