Transcripts

[momofkhm]

I know there are several places on line to get a template, but I want a program that I can just say this is what she took, what her grades were, weight them or not and it spits out a lovely transcript.

 

Does this exist?

 

The templates I find, I can't get it all on one page that I've heard it should be. Not that she has a lot of academics, but volunteer and extra-curricular stuff.

 

Thanks!

by Inge Cannon may be what you are looking for. HSLDA recommends it and I own it and hear it is easy to use, but have not started it up yet.

Here is the one we used - it is a sample transcript form they supply for homeschoolers. I modified it a bit to make it more simplified, but it even calculates gpa for you. You do need Excel to use it. Don't forget the SSN on the transcript - it is used to match with test scores and applications -grr.

What's the scale most people use for calculating a letter grade from a number grade? For example, where does an A leave off and an A- start?

It looks really good. Too bad it does not work on Macs.

It's free until you want to print it off... then it costs $15. (fifteen:-)

I developed my own transcript in MS word. I grouped courses together by category rather than by year. As homeschoolers, our learning is not always Sept-May, 4 years. My dc had 1 credit courses that they did in 3 months over the summer or 1/2 credit courses that took 18 months. So all of the English, Math, Science, etc. were grouped together.

 

It works well for our family.

DonnaYoung has transcripts in .doc and .pdf format and a page on high school transcripts but the samples are .doc and .rtf

Yolanda, The transcript form I used calculated the gpa for me. I had a strange mix of public school, homeschool and cc classes so I did my grading scale the same as the ps then listed the CC class grades as they were reported. Here is a guideline for transcript grading and credit.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for and it seems quite reasonable, or at least what I'm used to. The organization I've been using to do my record-keeping and transcript prep has a much more demanding scale. For example, a 93 is a B+ and an 89 is a mere B. This results in lower GPA although each course's numeric grade appears on the transcript and their grade scale is clearly shown on the transcript. It didn't dawn on me until now how that scale affects GPA. I guess I kept thinking the numeric translates directly into GPA without the A/B/C filter, so to speak. I'll tell you, this homeschooling journey is starting to make my brain ache there's so much you learn!

I don't suppose you'd be kind enough to send me a copy (minus private info of course)? Please?

 

I'm wanting to organize ours this way too for the same reasons. Besides, I think it's clearer. Colleges don't care when you covered what, just that you covered what was needed.:)

Thanks Karen,

 

Not overly complex, yet professional looking. The summary of credits for math, science, etc. seems like it would help admissions staff. I like this a lot.
