daijobu Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I'm using a software app to create our homeschool transcripts (My Homeschool Transcripts), and my dd just noticed that while I am able to enter grades after each semester, the semester grades do not show on the pdf of the printed transcript. Instead the guy who runs the site tells me that the final grade is the average of the 2 semester grades, and I can choose to round up or down depending on settings I choose. But semester grades are not specifically reported. I would like to know if your high school transcripts report grades at the semester? Do you think this is the norm?

I know that the transcript that the umbrella school we use sends out doesn't have semester grades. Also, I don't remember seeing them when I worked in the records/admissions department at my CC.

RootAnn Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I've seen samples by people here & on the internet both ways. I've been convinced to just do final grades - because space-wise, it is so much better. (I'm just doing my own in excel.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EKS Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I did not report semester grades--just one grade for each course on the transcript. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I did not report semester grades, only one final grade for each course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Some colleges do request the senior year first semester grades, but not necessarily on a transcript. Our state flagship has students self-report first semester grades via the university website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
