A homeschool transcript built from work your kid already did
Most homeschool transcript makers are a form. You type in every course, grade, and credit, and the tool prints it back. StudyQuest360 keeps the school year, the courses, the hours, and the grades as you go, then builds the transcript from those records.
It's free with a linked parent account. No Premium needed, and nothing stamped across the printout.
What's on the transcript
Student name and grade, guardian name, and every course grouped by school year with its level, credits, and grade. Under that, a cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale, credits earned against credits attempted, and a certification line with room to sign and date. Then an attendance summary by month and a plain-language note for each course.
School years and courses come first
Set up a school year with its start and end dates and, if your state counts them, a target in days or hours. Add courses under it: title, subject, credits, and whether it was standard, honors, or AP. Everything else on the transcript hangs off that structure, which is why there is nothing to retype at the end.
Hours logged as you go
Log minutes against a course or against the day in general. The attendance summary counts distinct days, so three sessions on one Tuesday is one instructional day, and it shows your own target beside the total. It never says whether you have met your state's rule. That judgment stays with you.
You certify the grade, not the app
When a course wraps, you grade it. Letters, numbers, and pass/fail all work, and a course marked honors or AP can be weighted later if you want it to be. The transcript prints your name and a certification line because in a homeschool, the guardian is the school.
Print it, or save it as a PDF
The transcript is a print-stylesheet page. Open it, preview it, and use your browser's Save as PDF. No locked file, no SAMPLE stamped across it, no paid tier to unlock the download.
It grows from the same place the quests do
This is not a records app bolted onto a game. The courses your student's quests roll up into are the courses on the transcript, so the course notes can say what was covered and what got marked competency met, not only the grade. The homeschool page covers the game side.

How to build a homeschool transcript in StudyQuest360
1
Link a parent account
Records live on the parent side. Create a parent account, link your student, and open Records on the dashboard.
2
Set up a school year
Give it a label and start and end dates. If your state counts days or hours, enter your own target so it prints beside the total.
3
Add courses
Title, subject, credits (1.0 for a year, 0.5 for a semester), and standard, honors, or AP. Courses sit under the school year they belong to.
4
Log hours
Enter minutes against a course, or against the day in general. Days count once no matter how many sessions you log.
5
Certify grades
When a course wraps, grade it yourself. Letters, numbers, or pass/fail. Your name goes on the certification line.
6
Print or save as PDF
Open the transcript, preview it, and use your browser to print or save. No watermark, no locked file, no paid tier to unlock it.
The records a state may ask for
Homeschool record keeping usually comes down to some mix of four things: an attendance log, a list of courses, grades or a portfolio, and a transcript once high school starts. StudyQuest360 keeps the attendance log, the course list, and the transcript, and the per-course notes can stand in for a narrative summary if your state accepts one.
It does not know which of those your state wants, how many days you owe, or whether a portfolio review is coming. You enter your own target and read the numbers against it. If you need a service that files or certifies something on your behalf, that is a different product and we would rather say so here.
How much does a homeschool transcript service cost?
A transcript service charges a fee to take the records you send in, format them, and sometimes review them. Prices are theirs to set and change, so check their sites rather than a number on ours. Some families want that step, especially for a college-bound senior with credits from three different places, and nothing here replaces it.
What StudyQuest360 does is the part before that: keeping the records so there is something to send. If you have logged hours and certified grades here all year, the transcript is already built, and it's free. If a service or your state wants a different format, the printed version is yours to hand over.
Questions about homeschool transcripts
Do I need a homeschool transcript?
For high school, usually yes. Colleges, the military, dual-enrollment programs, and some employers ask for one, and in a homeschool the parent issues it. Younger grades rarely need one, but keeping courses and hours from the start means the high school transcript is a printout later instead of a reconstruction.
Is the transcript free?
Yes. School years, courses, hours, grading, and the printable transcript come with a linked parent account on the free tier. Premium lifts the daily game and study caps and adds illustrated scrolls. It does not gate the transcript. The pricing page has the full split.
Can I get an HSLDA transcript here?
No. We are not connected to HSLDA, and HSLDA offers its own transcript service to its members. What StudyQuest360 does is keep the records in a form you can print or hand to a service like that if you use one.
Do you have a homeschool transcript template?
The transcript is the template. Set up a school year, add courses, and print the page. The layout is fixed and the fields fill in from your records. If you would rather keep your own spreadsheet, the example above shows the fields most schools expect: course, level, credits, grade, GPA, and a signed certification.
Can it track homeschool attendance?
Yes. Log time and it counts distinct days and total hours inside each school year, broken out by month, with your own day or hour target printed beside the total. It will not tell you whether that total satisfies your state.
Does it calculate GPA?
Yes, on a 4.0 scale from the grades you certify, weighted by credits. Weighted GPA is a checkbox at print time and only bumps courses you marked honors or AP when you graded them. Pass/fail courses count toward credits but not toward the average.
Who can see my student's records?
You, and any co-guardian you link. Records sit on the parent account, encrypted, and are never sold. Ask and we delete the account and everything tied to it. The safety and data page has the plain-language version, and support handles deletion and export requests.

A parent account is all it takes. Set up the year, add this week's courses, and the transcript starts building itself from there.
