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.

Distance Calculus was the perfect answer to getting ahead in math over the summer of my junior year in HS. I was able to complete the entire course over the summer. The teacher was responsive and the course was understandable. Highly recommend.

Fantastic courses! I barely made it through Cal 1, and halfway through Cal 2 I found this program. I took Cal 2 and then Multivariable and I just loved it! SOOOOOOO much better than a classroom+textbook class. I highly recommend!

I highly recommend this course! Dr. Curtis is the best teacher and is ALWAYS willing to work with you to make sure you understand the subject. It was definitely a positive experience and the credits were transferred to my University with no problems! I definitely do not regret it and I had doubts in the beginning but if I had to, I would do it all over again!

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.
