Start here. We filled in a pretend student, Emma, so you can see what a finished transcript and report card look like. Click around all you like, nothing here is real. When you're ready, press the orange button: it clears Emma out and opens a blank one for your own child.

Courses & grades
List each high school course under the year it was taken. Pick the grade and the points fill in themselves, one column unweighted and one weighted.
Not sure what grade, level or credit to give?
Grades. If you have test and assignment scores, type the average in Score % and the letter picks itself. No scores, like a discussion or project course? Choose the letter that fits the year:
- A excellent work, really owns the material
- B good, solid understanding
- C got the basics done
- D struggled but finished
- P pass, for things like PE or driver's ed. It earns credit but stays out of the GPA.
- IP in progress, for this year's courses
Level. Honors means the course went clearly deeper or faster than a regular high school course. AP is only for courses that followed a College Board approved AP syllabus. Dual Enrollment is a course taken through a college for college credit.
Credits. A full-year course is 1.0 credit (roughly 120 to 180 hours of work). A one-semester course is 0.5. Most college-bound students finish with 22 to 26 credits, and Florida public schools require 24.
Weighted vs. unweighted. Unweighted treats every course the same on a 4.0 scale. Weighted adds a bump for harder courses. Colleges like to see both, and many recalculate with their own formula anyway.
Florida families. Bright Futures figures its own GPA from core courses only, so treat the number here as your own record, not the official Bright Futures GPA. Home education students also need to be registered with their district for 11th and 12th grade to qualify.
Finishing touches
All optional. Skip anything you don't have yet. You can come back and add it later.

Signature
The transcript ends with a line for you to sign and date. Your signature as the homeschool administrator is what makes it official.
Your transcript
Print the PDF, sign and date it, and you're done. Your work saves on this device as you type. A backup file lets you pick it up on another computer or keep a copy somewhere safe.
What colleges look for on a homeschool transcript
- Student's full legal name and date of birth, and no Social Security number
- Your homeschool's name, address and a way to reach you
- Every high school course by year, with credits and a final grade
- Your grading scale and the cumulative GPA
- A graduation date, your signature and the date you signed
- One page if you can manage it
Some colleges also ask for course descriptions, test scores or a notarized copy. Check the homeschool page of each college on your list before you send anything.
Report card
For any grade, kindergarten through 12th. Fill it in as each quarter or semester wraps up and download a fresh copy whenever you need one.

What grade do I give?
For discussion and project work that doesn't come with a test score. Start at the top and stop at the first no. That's your grade.
- Have quiz or test scores? Use the percent instead: 90 to 100 is an A, 80 to 89 a B, 70 to 79 a C, 60 to 69 a D.
- Grade the whole term, not one bad day.
- Redos are allowed. Grade where your student ends up.
