What is a transcript? How do I prepare one?
A transcript is an official school report itemizing a student’s courses, grades, and credits. Because a transcript is “evidence” that backs up the diploma and details the student’s education, only the person overseeing the student’s education can accurately compile the transcript. As a result, parents of children enrolled in Outlook Academy prepare transcripts for their own children because we have no way of knowing what courses your student has completed or what grades to assign them. Colleges and universities do accept homeschool transcripts. You will find many sample homeschool transcripts online. Simply search on “homeschool transcript sample” and use them as a template for your own. Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) has information and transcript templates on their Transcripts page.
