When Can I Start My Distance Calculus Course?

Immediately

You begin your Distance Calculus course typically the same day you submit the Enrollment Application, or the next business day if you submit outside business hours. There is no waiting for a "term start date" - we operate on revolving enrollment year-round.

What Does "Start a Distance Calculus Course" Actually Mean?

"Starting" the course is a sequence of small steps that happen quickly:

1. Submit your Enrollment Application. The course professor reviews and approves it.
2. You receive Getting Started emails with the initial tasks: contact the professor by email and Skype text chat, install the course software (LiveMath or Mathematica), purchase the software license and e-textbook, and set up your screen-recording account.
3. You log into the course portal using credentials we send you, and the first set of assignments is waiting for you.
4. You begin the first module. From this moment forward, you have 1 year to complete the course - though most students finish far sooner.

You do not need to wait for any "Start of Term Date" to start working. Your transcript will be placed into the appropriate academic semester (Fall, Winter, Spring, or Summer) based on the date you submit the enrollment application, but that is a Registrar-side detail that does not affect when your coursework actually begins.
