Most Distance Calculus students are enrolled at other colleges, universities, or high schools.

The #1 question all new prospective students have about taking a Distance Calculus course is:
"Will the units I earn in Distance Calculus transfer to my home school/college ?"

The basic answer is: Yes

The main two tests for transferring credits from one academic institution to another academic institution are the following:

• Accredited Academic Institution
  Suffolk University is a fully accredited university, with accreditation from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Suffolk University is one of the "major 25" universities in Boston, Massachusetts, and is located on Beacon Hill, next to the capitol building for the goverment of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and is most known for its Law School and Sawyer School of Management, as well as the New England School of Art and Design. The Mathematics and Computer Science Department is part of the College of Arts and Sciences at Suffolk University.

• Courses to be Transferred Match at Home Institution
  The school/college/university that is to receive the transferring units will want to make sure that the "Calculus I" taken via Distance Calculus @ Suffolk University matches the "Calculus I" that it offers.

  The topics in all Calculus courses are very standard throughout the world. In almost all cases, "Calculus I" via Distance Calculus covers the same topics as "Calculus I" taught at any other institution.

ASK YOUR REGISTRAR FIRST The golden key to success in transferring academic credits from Distance Calculus @ Suffolk University to your home institution is talk with your Registrar about your plans first. Usually just a phone call, an email, or a visit to the Registrar's office will suffice. "Hi Registrar, I am planning to take Calculus I from another school via their Distance Education offering. Specifically, Suffolk University in Boston, Massachusetts. I plan to take their Calculus I - 4 Semester Credits. Here is a print out of their syllabus and course description, which appears to match the course description in our Academic Catalog. Do you see any problems with this plan?" Registrars love to be asked questions before there are any problems. In all student reports from students who asked their Registrar's before enrolling in Distance Calculus, the outcome has been very positive. To date, we have heard of less than 5 colleges/universities/schools that have stated in advance that they will refuse to accept transfer credits from Suffolk University's Distance Calculus program. Why? It is not clear to us; some schools do not like transfer credits in general, preferring to get the tuition dollars from their students themselves; some schools do not like the idea of "distance education", having poor experience with some questionable distance programs offered at other schools around the country (we agree that some of these distance programs are questionable!). To date, all of our students who have completed a Distance Calculus course have been able to successfully transfer the credits to their home institution. To keep our 100% transfer rate, we ask that you speak with your Registrar prior to enrollment in Distance Calculus. There have been instances of confusion on transferring credits; in all such cases, an official letter from Suffolk University and a phone call or email have solved all problems to date.
