Not sure if you’re asking me, Willow613, but I didn’t validate self-study classes other than writing a description of the course in the transcripts. I combined everything in my transcripts. For that son, I only sent CC and my transcripts. He was a super, duper strong candidate, so there were plenty of other parts of his application that validated who he was.

For my current HS senior, I am tacking on several of the outside transcripts onto my own. So, I have cut and pasted an AoPS class grade and I’ll do that with a Coursera class, too, and probably a co-op class, just to show the grades are legit. This son is much weaker in terms of how advanced he is, so I feel like it’s more important to validate these grades. But he’ll also have about 40 units of community college, and I’ll send those transcripts, as well.
