How do you make an official homeschool transcript? You translate your normal, natural homeschool experience into words and numbers that colleges understand. Create grades, credits, and GPA with your mommy-made grades and kitchen credits. Put "Official" on the title, and you're golden!

How to Calculate Credits

• One credit means

• One textbook or curriculum completed

• 120-180 hours of work

• Or about 1 hour a day

One half credit means

• Semester curriculum completed

• 60-90 hours of work

• Or about half an hour per day

How to Give Grades

Don't focus on tests, but give a grade based on

• What the student did

• What the student knows

• What the student produced

How to Calculate GPA

• Assign each class a credit value (e.g. 1 credit)

• Assign each class a numerical grade (e.g. 4.0)

• Calculate grade point for each class by multiplying a class credit by the class numerical grade

• Add all the grade points for all completed classes.

• Divide the total grade points by the total credits completed.

• The answer is the current grade point average.
