Mastering Homeschool Transcripts: How to Create a Professional Transcript Colleges Will Appreciate, Speaker Missy Fox, The Lodge on the second floor Children’s Center
Homeschool transcripts don’t need to be mysterious or intimidating. Join a Princeton homeschool mom to hear pointers that helped her kids get into their first-choice colleges with scholarships. We will discuss what to include, format options, course naming, GPA calculation, dual enrollment, complicated situations, and Q&A – bring your questions!
What’s included:
- Do colleges accept homeschoolers?
- How should I format a homeschool transcript?
- Should I put any 8th grade courses on the transcript?
- What counts as a credit on a homeschool transcript?
- How do you list college dual enrollment?
- How do you pick course titles?
- When are homeschool courses honors or AP?
- What do I need to include on a transcript?
- What grading scale should I use?
- How do you calculate a weighted/unweighted GPA?
- How do you make a homeschool diploma?
- What records do I need to keep for my homeschooler?
- Do I need to make course descriptions?
For the workshops, you can enter through the West Entrance, turn left and walk to the Children’s Center building. Take the elevator to the 2nd floor and turn right. The Lodge will be on your left.
