How to Transfer Credits From Your Previous High School to Homeschool

Transferring credits from a public or private high school to a homeschool is a matter of getting an official copy of your child's transcript and being in-the-know about requirements that must be fulfilled.

      Graduation requirements are your guide.

      Obtain the state's requirements for high school graduation. The counselor should have a copy of state graduation requirements or you can find them on a state education website. Homeschooling websites may have them, as well.

      Report previously earned credits.

      Ask another homeschooling parent.

      Complete a IHIP (Individualized Home Instruction Plan) for your child to finish her high school career. Submit it to the educational authorities who oversee homeschooling. Ask another homeschooling parent, or the homeschooling organization, for guidance about who to contact.
