As graduation nears for our oldest daughter, I have been doing some more and more serious research on homeschool graduation.
I found this information today when looking for an example of a diploma. We are getting ready to print one for our daughter on our computer. I thought this information was very helpful and wanted to share it with you. Hope it is helpful to some.
The following is taken from
Home School Diploma .com
Diploma~~
"A certificate issued to a student by a school, college, or university, indicating graduation or conferring a degree."
There is nothing mysterious about the homeschool diploma. As the administrator of your home school, you set the requirements for graduation. When you determine that your children have met those requirements, you issue a diploma to certify that fact.
Some families choose to enroll their children in an umbrella school or a correspondence school that offers a diploma program, and several states offer programs for homeschoolers to gain a state-accredited diploma. However, there are many who desire more educational freedom than such programs allow. By using the home school as an umbrella to encompass a wide variety of courses and educational experiences, families are able to tailor an education to the specific needs and interests of their children, and then issue their own high school diploma.

This website is wonderful because it covers issues such as~~
Should my child take the GED?
How do I know when we are finished?
Links for help created a transcript.
I also would personally recommend a visit to Barbara Shelton's website http://www.homeschooloasis.com .
