A homeschool transcript lists each high school course by year with its final grade and credits, your grading scale, the cumulative GPA and credits, the graduation date, and the signature of the parent or school administrator. The template below has all of these. Type into it here, or print it blank.

What a homeschool transcript usually includes
- Home school name, address, and contact details.
- Student name, date of birth, and graduation month and year.
- Course titles by school year, each with a final grade and credits earned.
- Your grading scale, total credits, and cumulative GPA.
- Standardized test scores, if you choose to report them.
- The parent or administrator’s signature and the date signed.
One official example: North Carolina’s Division of Non-Public Education lists the fields a home school transcript must include. They are the school name, address, and phone number, the student’s Social Security number, the titles of subjects completed by school year, the grade and unit credit for each, annual standardized test scores, the graduation month and year, and the administrator’s signature and date. DNPE also says a transcript used as identification at the NC DMV must include everything on that list, and it encourages keeping copies indefinitely.Source: NC DNPE Records Retention & Diplomas FAQs (retrieved October 18, 2026). This template leaves the Social Security number off. Add it only if a recipient asks for it.
How to fill it in
- Pick a credit method and write it down. For example, one credit for a full-year course and half a credit for a semester. Keep it the same across all four years.
- Use clear course titles. "Algebra I" or "American Literature" is easier to read than a curriculum brand name.
- Calculate the GPA. For each course, multiply grade points by credits. Add the results and divide by total credits.
- Note early high school work. If a student finished a high school course before grade 9, list it with the grade it was taken in.
- Sign, date, and keep copies. Save a PDF and a paper copy. Students may need the transcript years later.
The records behind the transcript
A transcript is a summary. Admissions offices, scholarship reviewers, and evaluators sometimes ask what is behind a grade. A dated record of completed work, resources, and samples makes that easy to answer. TeachKeep keeps that record by child, subject, and school year, and lets you attach evidence files.
State requirements: North Carolina ·Texas ·all six state guides.
Keep four years of evidence, not four years of guesses.
Log completed learning by child, subject, and school year.
Frequently asked questions
Who can issue a homeschool transcript?
In many states the parent, as the home school’s administrator, prepares and signs it. North Carolina’s DNPE, for example, says the home school itself (not a government agency) keeps high school records and issues transcripts. Check your state and each recipient’s instructions.
How do I calculate a homeschool GPA?
For each course, multiply the grade points by the credits, add the results, and divide by the total credits. Write your grading scale on the transcript so the reader can follow your numbers.
Will every college accept this template?
No template is accepted everywhere. Colleges, scholarships, and employers can ask for their own fields or formats, so check each recipient’s current instructions.
Does TeachKeep make transcripts?
No. TeachKeep records completed learning by child, subject, and date. That history helps you fill in this template, but the app does not calculate GPA, assign credits, or generate a transcript.
