Homeschool transcript resources
I design invitations for a living. I also built a transcript tool for families who are the school. This page is the front door.
A homeschool transcript is the one-page record you write as the school administrator: courses, credits, grades, a grading scale, a GPA that matches the lines above it, and a signature. Colleges read parent-made transcripts every year. They are looking for a complete, consistent, honest file, not a seal from an office you do not have.
The specialist how-tos live on the tool site, because that is where the worksheet questions belong. The notes here are the earlier ones: when to open the file, what to keep so you are not reconstructing freshman year from memory, how the PDF actually leaves the house, and what is free in the builder before you buy a kit.
I am not an accreditor, an admissions officer, or a lawyer. Exact college, NCAA, and state rules vary. Check the current page at the institution you are sending to. The builder's credit checks are a planning aid, not a promise that anyone will admit or certify a student.
Build it in the browser
Enter courses and grades, style the page, and save a backup on your computer. That part is free, with no account. Printing, PDFs and image downloads unlock with the access code from the transcript kit on Etsy.

What is free in the homeschool transcript builder
No yearly fee. Try it without a card. The kit unlocks print, PDF and PNG.
HomeschoolWhen the high school record opens
The file opens with the first high-school-level course, not with ninth grade.
HomeschoolHomeschool records that become a transcript
Keep a thin file this year so senior year is copied, not invented.
HomeschoolHow the finished transcript actually leaves the house
The PDF is done. This is the envelope, the portal, and the NCAA inbox.
How-tos on the tool site
Credit, GPA, course names, AP, dual enrollment, and who signs are already written in full at transcripts.marigoldpaperco.com. Use those pages when you are filling the lines.
What stays on your computer
There is no student account. Records save in the browser on that machine, so keep a backup file if you switch computers. Typed notes stay local. Optional dictation first tries an on-device speech pack. If that is not used, the browser maker's speech service receives the audio after a consent prompt. Checking an access code sends the code, not the student record.
