We were back on the road for the past week, meeting more of you face-to-face and having meaningful conversations about what is most important to you when it comes to homeschooling and keeping records. On June 5th and 6th, we attended the Homeschool Iowa (HI) Conference<\/a> in Des Moines, and then we were in Indianapolis for the Midwest Homeschool Conference<\/a> on June 13th, hosted at Ivy Tech. In between, we were able to enjoy the beauty of the Midwest (pro tip: if you take trail #3 at Turkey Run State Park, follow the trail to the left after the suspension bridge instead of the right if you want to go up<\/em> the ladders; but also take seriously the classification of “very rugged”!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A major topic of conversation for people stopping by the Scholaright booth was transcripts<\/strong>. New and experienced homeschoolers alike wanted to know if colleges accept homeschool transcripts, college admissions reps spoke about how they didn’t have resources to guide homeschool families, some folks said they knew transcripts were important but didn’t know where to start, and there were questions about what even needs to be on a transcript. We’ve combined research plus our own experience working in college admissions with homeschoolers and their transcripts, to make a simple and comprehensive tool to help people assemble the information they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To answer the first question: we have yet to find a college or university that does not accept homeschool transcripts. Even large universities like the University of Michigan<\/a> and Indiana University<\/a> encourage homeschoolers to apply. However, they each have their own criteria, such as specific subjects, credits, and standardized tests. So always be sure to check with the colleges and universities your student is interested in to help guide your education decisions. This is also why it’s a good idea not to wait until graduation day to start thinking about records and transcripts. Scholaright is designed to help you on your homeschool journey from pre-k all the way through high school (see how Scholaright helps beyond just grades<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you keep your records in Scholaright and the time comes to generate your student’s transcripts, you get all of this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
