Blueridge Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 DD has not yet begun her senior year, but we are applying early to a few colleges. Do you include the 12th grade course names on the transcript itself with no grades listed, or list those courses that are currently being taken on a separate sheet? Not sure if it matters a great deal, but just in case. ;) TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 I decided to chunk my current transcript program, which has exasperated me all weekend. It just didn't have the options I needed. I now have answered my own question. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
distancia Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Does anyone else have an answer to this? I am in the same situation right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda in MA Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I just put the courses my son was taking his senior year on his transcript with the number of credits they were worth. In the "grade" column, I just put "in progress". I think it's nice for the admissions officer to have all the courses listed together on the same page.

Kathy in Richmond Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I just put the courses my son was taking his senior year on his transcript with the number of credits they were worth. In the "grade" column, I just put "in progress". I think it's nice for the admissions officer to have all the courses listed together on the same page. Brenda :iagree: We did exactly the same thing here. It also makes it easy to complete the transcript later in the year, just changing those "in progress" designations to a letter grade. ~Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blueridge Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) I was trying to use TranscriptPro, and this is on their site: <<How do I handle senior year courses before my child graduates? Transcripts list only completed work—not work in progress. Thus, it is customary for colleges to receive incomplete transcripts during a student’s final year of high school with all work documented through the junior year. In such cases, parents need to plan an addendum sheet titled “Work in Progress” that lists current courses along with grades to date (if the college requests these). Final transcripts with senior work included should then be sent to the college within two weeks of graduation.>> I don't want to use a separate sheet...but the program has no 'in progress' option. So, is the program correct about this? ETA: it has no option to just leave the grade blank, either. I tried to use a free online transcript program today, entered all the information again, and then printed it out...and it was SO ugly. Now what? I'm tired of fussing with it. I want to get to the fun stuff like printing on nice paper and embossing the final copy. :) Edited August 17, 2010 by Blueridge further whining...

stephanier.1765 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I just checked my Piecing Together the High School Puzzle by Joanne Mastronicola and the sample transcript lists the courses but leaves the grades and credits areas blank. I like the idea of using "in progress" as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbmem Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Are transcripts usually printed on nice paper? You mean like resume paper? What do you emboss on the transcript? Is embossing commonly done on transcripts? printing on nice paper and embossing the final copy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueridge Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 Are transcripts usually printed on nice paper? You mean like resume paper? What do you emboss on the transcript? Is embossing commonly done on transcripts? Oh, I get myself into all sorts of trouble with my Googling! I read in several places that you should consider using 'watermark' paper, like a resume I guess. Then the final touch of elegance and professionalism is to use a personalized embosser with your school name. Of course, none of this is necessary LOL, but I want it to be a work of art. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
