Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) is an important policy that enables adult learners to complete their credentials by demonstrating their life experience is worthy of earning college credit. PLA policy in the state of Colorado remains a priority for the government and state agencies and understanding Colorado faculty perspectives of and experiences with PLA is important for both institutions of higher education and state policy makers to continue to expand PLA for the state. This qualitative intrinsic case study with embedded cases investigated this phenomenon through the analysis of 15 interviews with Colorado faculty from two-and four-year institutions and a plethora of documents ranging from university websites, policy documents, state agency memos to unveil four major themes that yielded important considerations for best practices of developing and implementing PLA policy statewide.
