Questions
Is TranscriptKit really free?
Yes. The builder, GPA and credit math, grading scale and printing are free with no account and no watermark on the transcript. We plan to charge for Pro extras (course descriptions, more students and drafts, extra layouts and sections), which launch in mid-November.
Will colleges accept a transcript I make myself?
Many colleges accept parent-issued transcripts; requirements vary, so check with each school and your state’s homeschool laws. TranscriptKit is a tool for making the document: it doesn’t certify, accredit or approve anything. You sign it as the parent or school administrator.
Do you see or store my student’s information?
No. Everything you type stays in your browser. It is never sent to our server or anyone else, and we don’t store it. Your draft is saved in this browser’s local storage on this device; use Export to keep a backup file.
How is GPA calculated?
Each grade’s points on the 4.0 scale are multiplied by the course credits, added up and divided by the total graded credits. The weighted GPA adds a bonus to passing grades in Honors (+0.5), AP and dual enrollment (+1.0) courses by default; you can change the bonuses. P (pass) courses count toward credits but not GPA. GPAs are rounded to two decimals.
What counts as one credit?
Usually a full-year course: the traditional Carnegie unit is about 120 hours, and many homeschool guides use 120 to 180 hours. A semester course is usually half a credit. Requirements vary, so use one rule consistently.
How do I get a PDF?
Click "Print / Save as PDF" and pick "Save as PDF" as the printer. The transcript is laid out for US Letter paper; a typical four-year load fits on one page.
Can I use it on another computer?
Yes. Click "Export file" to download your draft as a small JSON file, then "Import file" on the other computer. Nothing is synced through us.
