Subject Transcript Instead of Yearly Transcript - High School

Well I finally finished compiling my daughter's transcript. She graduates home school June 1, 2013. I purchased Homeschool Tracker years ago to make the transcript process smoother. Alas, it didn't work out for us because I enrolled her in private school for 3 semesters.

Entering all her info again would have been very confusing and time intensive based on how the program is set up. Plus I realized a subject transcript would be a better fit for us than a yearly transcript and Homeschool Tracker only offers a yearly transcript broken into semesters.

The university she is planning on applying to (University of Texas Permian Basin) told me they don't want multiple transcripts for high school. They want me to consolidate her transcripts into one. So, that's what I did.

I searched for a subject transcript, but couldn't find one I liked. I finally ended up picking and choosing different parts from various transcripts and just making my own. In the hope of saving someone out there time, I'm making mine available.
  • Based on subjects instead of years
  • One page
  • Space for recording SAT and ACT scores
  • Space for GPA and credit info

    1. Your welcome! I know how you feel about computer crashes! Now I store everything important to Dropbox, Google Drive or Skydrive. Now only to remember which online storage I used for what, lol!

  3. Melissa,
    Great post. I tried to download the Subject Transcript Template, but the link has been disabled. Is there a way to correct this? It would be a big help to us.
    Also, thank you (and God) for your story.

      Sorry about that. I'm not sure what happened to the link, but I've updated it. It should be working now.

  4. This looks so professional and I would love to use it for my daughter's transcript, but it doesn't seem to be downloading correctly. It shows it downloaded, but when I try to open it, it isn't in the downloads. Is the link still viable? Thanks so much!

    1. Hi Amy,
      The link goes to my dropbox folder...from there you download the transcript. I checked, and it's still working. You might want to double check where it is set to download on your computer. And if you know you downloaded it then do a search on your computer by the file name.
      HTH,
      Melissa

  7. I love your transcript! I've downloaded it (Thank you!) but am not able to make changes to it. What do I need to do to make it writable? Unfortunately, I'm not very tech savvy. :( Tia!

    1. Hi! Thanks. Make sure you downloaded the Microsoft Word version and not the image on this page. If you still can't edit it, then right click the document, click on properties, and make sure Read-Only is not checked under attributes.

    1. Jennifer,
      Can you advise me on the enrollment dates I should use when my child begins high school work early such as your child did? I don't want a period of over 4 years to exempt her from possible scholarship. Thank you!

    1. You're welcome! Yes, they are friendly to homeschoolers. I think most of the professors like homeschoolers because they are already independent learners.

  23. Thank you so much for this! Just what we needed. I was wondering, how would I add additional lines if I need more space for more classes/credits?

    1. I would like to know how to do this also.

    2. I made this a single page transcript. So for more lines, just add extra cells where you need them. That will make it a 2 page transcript instead.

  24. Thank you so much for this! Was wondering, what is the best way to add additional lines in each heading if we need it? I think we need some more space for more classes, especially in electives. Thank you!!

  29. Does this need to be notarized? Who signs for principal if you are home schooled?

    1. Requirements will depend on your child's college. My daughter attended UT and we did not have to get it notarized.

  32. Thank you so much! I downloaded your template & tweaked it a little for my needs. I also turned it into a self-averaging excel sheet that made it easy to update.
