Does My College or University Accept These Credits?

The Short Answer: Almost Certainly Yes

Roger Williams University holds the highest tier of U.S. accreditation - regional accreditation by the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE). The same accreditation is held by Harvard, MIT, Yale, Brown, and essentially every major university in New England. Regionally accredited credits are widely accepted by colleges and universities nationwide.

How to Confirm Before You Enroll

Contact your registrar or academic advisor at your home institution. Ask directly: "Will you accept transfer credits from Roger Williams University for [course name]?"
Provide the course syllabus. Download our detailed course syllabi PDF and attach it to your request, so the receiving institution can verify the topic coverage matches their corresponding course.
Get the approval in writing. Email correspondence is fine. The point is that you have documentation of the pre-approval before you spend tuition dollars.

"My School Hasn't Heard of Distance Calculus"

That's fine - your school does not need to recognize Distance Calculus as a specific brand. What they need to recognize is Roger Williams University. The transcript that arrives at your registrar's office is an official Roger Williams University transcript; "Distance Calculus" is not on it. Your registrar evaluates the credit based on the issuing institution's accreditation and the course's content match - and on both criteria, RWU/Distance Calculus is on solid ground.

Track Record

Thousands of Distance Calculus students have successfully transferred credits to receiving institutions across the United States and internationally, including state universities, community colleges, Ivy League institutions, and professional graduate programs in business, data science, engineering, and beyond.

Distance Calculus - Student Reviews

Courses Completed: Calculus I, Calculus II, Multivariable Calculus, Linear Algebra

I took the whole calculus series and Linear Algebra via Distance Calculus. Dr. Curtis spent countless hours messaging back and forth with me, answering every question, no matter how trivial they might seem. Dr. Curtis is extremely responsive, especially if the student is curious and is willing to work hard. I don't think I ever waited much more than a day for Dr. Curtis to get a notebook back to me. Dr. Curtis would also make videos of concepts if I was really lost.

The course materials are fantastic. If you are a student sitting on the fence, trying to decide between a normal classroom class or Distance Calculus classes with Livemath and Mathematica, my choice would be the Distance Calculus classes every time. The Distance Calculus classes are more engaging. The visual aspects of the class notebooks are awesome. You get the hand calculation skills you need.

The best summary I can give is to say, given the opportunity, I would put my own son's math education in Dr. Curtis's hands.

Courses Completed: Multivariable Calculus, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Probability Theory

I loved these courses. So in depth and comprehensive. The mix of software and math curriculum was tremendously helpful to my future studies and career in engineering. I highly recommend these courses if you are bored of textbook courses.

Courses Completed: Multivariable Calculus

Im a visual learner and had a difficult time understanding multivariable calculus my first go around, and found this course offered by Roger Williams University, which uses real-time 3d graphing of the equations. I would see my work be manipulating the models, which gave a robust understanding of what each variable did. absolutely loved the course and class recordings.

The professor as well as the TAs give great feedback when you need help with problems and the videos are great at explaining concepts. Return time on work is good and the work is not too much to handle.

Courses Completed: Linear Algebra

This course gives a perspective on Linear algebra that no traditional course does. I’d say i gained much more intuition for this subject from the DC course than my friends who took traditional courses elsewhere. As a cs major, this version of learning with visualization has helped me a lot in understand ML models. However the course doesn’t have videos for the last 2 chapers so i had to self learn with the mathematica notebooks. Response times are a little slow but since it’s a remote class, i guess it’s justified. Overall amazing course and definitely take this over traditional lin alg classes.

Courses Completed: Calculus I

As a full-time business owner completing an Executive MBA, I needed to satisfy a calculus prerequisite without putting my work on hold. Distance Calculus made that possible. The fully self-paced structure let me work early mornings and weekends around an unpredictable schedule, which a fixed-semester classroom course never would have allowed.
The course covered the core business calculus material thoroughly — derivatives, optimization, integration techniques including u-substitution, the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, improper integrals, and numerical methods. The LiveMath computer algebra environment was central to the experience: it forced me to build each step explicitly rather than just arriving at an answer, which actually deepened my understanding of the mechanics.
Communication through the student portal was responsive when I had questions. For working professionals who need a rigorous, accredited calculus course on a flexible timeline, I'd recommend it.
