Keep meticulous written records of your home schooling, including all the subjects you studied, your test and assignment grades, books you read, skills you learned, extracurricular and volunteer activities and real life experiences. Obtain these records from your homeschooling administrator, if you don't already have them.
Contact the colleges to which you want to apply and ask what type of transcripts they will accept. Inquire whether they accept non-traditional transcripts, and if so, ask for a specific list of the information they need. For example, for Covenant College, provide years of study, course titles, letter grades, credits completed, cumulative GPA, the grading scale used and the date of graduation. Include additional information you feel is pertinent to your application.
Organize your transcript in a manner that is easy to understand. Group your classes together by quarter, semester or year -- however your home school administrator organized your learning. For each level of learning, include your GPA for that specific block of time. If your home school administrator didn't give grades, explain how your achievement was measured. Include your scores for standardized tests, such as the ACT or SAT, which are usually required even for home-schooled students.
Make your transcript as professional as possible. Send in a typed -- not handwritten -- copy. Have your transcript signed by your home school administrator. Seal the envelope and have the administrator sign their name across the seal. Keep a copy of your transcript for your personal records.
