I've taken some  courses with Hadley.  They're great for certain things 
but they are not college courses.  Hadley used to have a college program 
where courses were transferrable.  Basically, Hadley provided the 
materials in Braille or on tape but you were taking them from the college,
at least that's how I understood it.  The courses are worth something as 
continuing education courses.  Some of them give you credit in ceu's and 
so can be accepted by employers and other organizations that require 
people to keep up their learning by having a certain number of ceu's 
(continuing education units) per year.  The school is accredited by the 
National Home Study Council and by the Central Association of Colleges 
and Secondary schools, but Hadley is not a college.  Theyl do have some 
good courses though which might be worth taking even if you didn't have 
college credit for theml.
Hope that helped a little.
