Abstract	This report contains suggestions on how adults can secure college credit for past education and life experience. According to the report, there are eight categories of life experience that can be worth credit: work; homemaking; volunteer work; noncredit learning; travel; recreational activities and hobbies; reading, viewing, and listening; and discussions with experts. These experiences can be validated in several ways: prior learning assessment, a prior learning portfolio, standardized tests, nonstandardized tests, and other options for obtaining college credit. Each of these types of validation is discussed and resources for more information are provided. (KC)
