The Act 196 of 2014 now allows parents to use a transcript form available from the Department of Education to summarize the four years of their teen’s high school courses and grades and get that certified by their evaluator. They can also issue their own diploma. The new law requires PHEAA and Pennsylvania colleges to recognize parent-issued diplomas. Personally, I believe there are some very good reasons parents should still consider enrolling in one of the diploma programs (which are now firmly recognized by the same law).
