Here is the link to what the College Board had me reference as to why I am not permitted to label the class as an AP class when taken prior to the 9th grade. http://apcentral.collegeboard.com/apc/public/repository/Appropriate-Grade-Levels-for-AP-Courses.pdf

I will run your suggestion of labeling the class as Computer Science A with AP Exam on her transcript by HSLDA. That's an excellent idea! She will be taking the AP Exam in May. I called the College Board and they told me that I will need to call them every year by May to remind them not to remove the 8th grade AP score, otherwise they will and a college will not be able to access it and a college will not accept it from me. Thank you for your suggestions!

Wow! Thanks for sending me those threads, I will check them out! I really appreciate your hunting them down for me. As you may have guessed, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I haven't felt like this since our first year of homeschool and that was a long time ago!

Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it. That's what I keep hearing is keep the subject titles simple and universal. Do you have any insight on AP classes or dual enrollment classes and how they count towards college credit? I didn't think they did but I've heard from another parent that they do and once you hit 12 credits the NCAA considers you a college student???? Not sure I understand that. I tried to call the homeschool line at the NCAA but all they did was direct me to the NCAA Manual. Thanks again!

Thank you! I appreciate your support and advice. My daughter will be doing a 4 year high school plan so I know we will have time to add AP courses. She wanted to take the AP Computer Science class and even though we cannot show it on her transcript I pray that how well she has done in this class will give her the confidence to try another AP class. Thanks for letting me know about the math. She actually did Algebra I in 7th and is doing Algebra II this year in 8th so she will be taking Geometry in 9th grade. I plan on having her take the SAT I test at the end of 9th grade and then the SAT II at the end of 10th as she will have done the pre calculus/trigonometry course by then. Best of luck to you and your daughter as you navigate the NCAA requirements. I am confused on the college credit part. Someone told me that AP classes count towards college credit but dual enrollment will not, they will just count towards reaching the required H.S. core classes. I was told my daughter couldn't reach 12 college credits because if she did, she will then be counted as a college student. I can't find anything on the NCAA website to clearly explain that. When I called the homeschool line they just directed me to the NCAA Manual. If you have any insight on this, I'd love to hear it! Thanks again!

My daughter is an ice hockey goalie and plays for the washington Pride. She is in 8th grade and is our only child. I have never navigated preparing a transcript for college let alone one that meets the NCAA Div. I standards. Is there anyone who has done this? I have felt confident homeschooling our daughter up to this point but am now fretting that I will not do something correctly and it will cost her going to a college she wants to or missing out on a scholarship. My daughter attends Classical Cottage School and I'm unsure how to even translate some of those classes to what is recognizable to colleges. For instance Omnibus, some say just call this Honors English 9. Others say pull the literature piece out and call it English 9 (not honors) and then categorize the literature part into American Literature, etc... Is there a benefit to separating it out like this? For NCAA Div. I you are also required to write descriptions for all core classes taken in H.S. I'm just feeling overwhelmed. I've already made one error. This year my daughter wanted to take an AP Computer Science Class. I checked with HSLDA and they said no problem and that it would look great on her transcript. In Dec. while I was searching for other AP classes for her to take I came across a link on the HSLDA website that took me to the college board site where I found out that any AP class taken prior to the 9th grade cannot be listed on a transcript as an AP class, UGH!!! I was further told that once the AP test score is released, it will be wiped off of her record as they only keep H.S. scores. I do not want to make any other errors like this so I am now second guessing my ability to homeschool through H.S. HELP!!!! #NCAA #HighSchoolTranscript
