When Can I Enroll in a Distance Calculus Course?

Immediately - 365 Days a Year

Distance Calculus operates on revolving enrollment, not the traditional academic calendar. You may submit your enrollment application today and start your course today (or the next business day, depending on when administrative tasks complete). From the date you submit your enrollment application, you have up to 1 year to finish the course.

Enrollment is open every day of the year - over Winter Break, Summer term, Spring, Fall, Winter Intersession, holiday weeks, the day after Thanksgiving, the third Tuesday in March - whatever moment fits your life, that's a valid moment to enroll.

One Practical Tip

If you're aiming to do real coursework over (say) Winter Break, don't wait until December to enroll. Enroll now, complete the administrative and computer-setup tasks early, and have the course ready to launch when your schedule actually opens up. This avoids the situation where you finally have time to study and you're still waiting on a software install or a tuition processing step.

How Term Placement Works

Roger Williams University does still need to place you into one of the standard academic terms - Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer - for transcript purposes. The Registrar handles that automatically based on your enrollment date. You don't need to wait for a "term start date" to begin your course; the term label on your transcript is set, but your actual course engagement begins as soon as you're ready.

A lifesaver. When I found out I needed a course done in the last weeks of summer I thought there was no way i'd find one available, but this let me complete the course as quickly as I needed to while still mastering the topics. Professor always got back to me very quickly and got my assignments back to me the next day or day of. Can't recommend this course enough for students in a hurry or who just want to learn at their own pace.

I took Calculus II through Distance Calculus and can't recommend it enough. Being able to take the course at my own pace while I was working full time was tremendously helpful, especially since I hadn't taken a math course for 5 years prior. The instruction was excellent and the software they used to teach the course was intuitive and facilitated the learning process very well. This calc II class enabled me to take multivariable calc, linear algebra, and real analysis at Harvard University's extension school, which ultimately qualified me for the economics PhD program that I will graduate from next year. 8 years on, I'm still grateful to Professor Curtis and Distance Calculus.

Great course. Because of this class I was able to meet the entry requirements for my EMBA program on a tight time window in addition to sharpening math skills from classes taken over 15 years ago!

The courses were excellent. Very flexible and engaging and the platform offers a lot of upper-level courses. Dr. Curtis is an outstanding professor and very responsive. I would take again.

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.
