Creating an Effective Transcript

A high school transcript is designed to highlight your student’s talents, strengths and skills in the same way a résumé does for a prospective employee. The transcript should present an accurate picture of education and experiences in a way that fits the target audience, whether that is college, a military academy, technical school, art or music school or an apprenticeship program. We’ll look at simple records you need to keep, plus how to assign grades, figure a grade point average, name classes and grant credit. You’ll be sure to leave with a ‘can-do’ feeling.
