2ndGenHomeschooler Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 My high school senior is making her college plans for the fall and the school wants her current transcript with the final, updated version sent after graduation. What does the “current version” mean and how would I format it? Just grades 9-11? Or should I send something for this year? Oldest DD took a break after high school so I just sent her final transcript. I’m not sure how to do a partial one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Did she not submit one with her applications? I think all they need is her final one, showing all high school coursework and grades. If you have any questions, I’d just call to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberia Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) With my dd I sent a full high school transcript, but all her "current" 12th grade classes were listed as "in progress" with a note saying they'd be completed May 2022. If you split the year into semesters, put her 1st semester grades, and then put 2nd semester grades as IP* (*in progress). ETA This way the colleges can anticipate what her final credits will look like. Edited March 25 by Tiberia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cintinative Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The schools want the final transcript already? I thought I would be submitting that in June. Am I missing something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something? They want her “current” transcript now, and then they want her final one submitted after graduation. I’m just not sure what they’re used to seeing as “current”. Up through 11th grade? Or the the first semester of 12th? I’ve asked a few people how to do things as a homeschooler but no one seems to know. So we’re just filling everything out the best we can. It’s a community college and I know tons of home schooled kids go there so they must not be too picky about any of it. 46 minutes ago, Tiberia said: With my dd I sent a full high school transcript, but all her "current" 12th grade classes were listed as "in progress" with a note saying they'd be completed May 2022.

I’m just not sure what’s “normal”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Transcript templates are not hard to find. There is good info on the pinned threads too. Yes, show courses and grades for 9-11 and the first semester of this year. List current semester courses as in-progress if you need to submit now. Then resend with this year’s final grades and cumulative GPA when your academic year is over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’m just feeling out of my depth. I was a homeschooled kid but my parents didn’t make transcripts for us and I didn’t go to college so everything involved with helping my kids go to college feels very foreign to me. I think I‘ll just submit what I have and mark this year’s classes as in progress. If they have more questions I’m sure they’ll ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my kids were doing dual enrollment, the current transcript meant to-date. So IP (in progress) for current term and grades for all completed terms. For example, it would be 9th to 12th Fall semester with completed grades and 12th Spring semester classes listed as IP. Also list all AP exams scores as they give credit by exam. The community college my kids went to wanted the official AP score report sent to them but were willing to take the unofficial AP score report to temporarily waive prerequisites. AP Calculus and AP Eng Lang/Lit satisfy prerequisites as well as automatically waive placement tests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 ACT/SAT scores may also waive requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, if they want more than that I guess we’ll get another email. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
