The mentors are usually pretty open to the fact that we have other commitments that sometimes have to come first. The online classes I have taken so far are broken down into either one week or two week modules. I am currently enrolled in an online class where the first two modules were one week, the next three are two week modules and then the last three are back to the one week schedule.
Most mentors will look for online discussion at least twice per week, but if you advise them ahead of time that you will be unavailable, they will most likely let you post in the discussion threads once you return and count it towards your discussion grade. Once you enroll at TESC, you can preview the online class and its calendar before actually registering for the class. That will better help you gauge what class might actually work best for your current life schedule.
Good luck deciding!
