Online Classes. The University offers an increasing number of online and hybrid courses which combine online with in-class meetings. In addition, the Connecticut Distance Learning Consortium (CTDLC) is an umbrella program run by the state that lists all online courses offered by accredited institutions in Connecticut. Students must determine if the course they wish to take through CTDLC will be accepted towards a degree program at the University of Hartford by checking with both the Undergraduate Admissions office and their college evaluator. The CTDLC website is www.ctdlc.org.
