Abstract	The veteran military-to-civilian transition (MCT) process continues to be complex and unwielding. Higher education has an opportunity to ease this transition, but, unfortunately many institutions still miss the mark. One mechanism higher education institutes can incorporate to help with the transition is the use of prior learning assessments or PLA. This chapter explicates the efficacy of PLA for service members undergoing the MCT process, in the context of Military Transition Theory. Through this context, we propose linkages between PLA and enhanced transition outcomes. This conceptual paper encourages further research and practice for assisting veterans undergoing the MCT transition process. (As Provided).
