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

My microeconomics class required college-level calculus as a prerequisite, and I didn't want to wait until next year to take the class. So, I took DC's Calculus I class over the summer, so I could register for econ when I got back to school this fall. I actually think I got more help taking the class online than I would have in the huge lecture classes here. Prof. Curtis was really clear in explaining concepts and talking me through the topics that I was having trouble with. It took me about 10 weeks to finish the class, which didn't seem too long and didn't feel rushed. My friends who are in calculus now, trying to finish the prereq, are pretty jealous!

Courses Completed: Calculus I, Calculus II

I did not do well in AP Calculus during my senior year in high school. Instead of trying to cram for the AP exam, I decided to jump ship and go to Distance Calculus to complete Calculus I. This was awesome! I finished Calculus I in about 6 weeks, and then I kept going into Calculus II. I started as a freshman at UCLA with both Calculus I and II done!

After two failed attempts at my university, this course helped me understand Calculus. The live maths tool along with Dr. Curtis were especially helpful, allowing me to visualize concepts and expand my understanding. The explanations were clear, the examples practical, and I could learn at my own pace, which built my confidence. Thank you.
