    You can try and contact Microsoft directly and have them send the transcript to EC directly. When I called their 800# given in this threadhttp://www.instantcertonline.com/for...oft-certs.html I was told they could send the transcript to me then I could place it unopened into an envelope and send to EC. They finally agreed to send directly to EC. You could try the 800# and still see if it is an option.

    When I had attempted to get my Comptia certs sent it was a hassle. I dont think they had an option to share them then. Was earlier this year. I was told there was only one person that handled sending them off from Comptia. I dont have her contact info any longer.

    I've arranged for Microsoft to send me 2 transcripts, one for Excelsior and one for TESC. Just a matter of time now.

    I had the same thing happen when sending a transcript to COSC. They finally relented and agreed to sending it directly there.

    This worries me about TESC. I've heard a few good stories about the school, but mostly horror stories about customer service. For various reasons I was considering moving from COSC to TESC for my Bachelor's in Business, but I may hold off on that.

    I plan to apply to both Excelsior and TESC. The biggest reason for TESC is because of the FEMA credits. I can go for their Emergency Management Bachelors since I have experience working in Emergency Management.

    UPDATE:

    Just got off the phone with TESC Office of the Registrar

    They will accept Comptia Certifications for College Credit
    You must have a Credential Report from Comptia, have it notarized, and mail it to TESC.

    They are now aware of the electronic procedure that Excelsior has accepted, and have forwarded that procedure to their MIS department for review. Reason - Security purposes (make sure its legitimate)

    I never got the credit though because they had no idea how to handle the on-line transcript provided by compTIA. Reeeeally amateur if you ask me.

    UPDATE: TESC Received my notarized transcripts, and unfortunately will not be able to process them. After some conversation with the Registrar's office, I was pointed in the direction of the Senior Learner Services Representative (ie. the buck stops here evaluator). She has been very helpful in giving me proper instruction. In this case, I can now do 1 of the following:

    1. Have notarized copies of my Certificates (NOT transcripts) sent to TESC
    2. Have CompTIA mail certificates directly to TESC ($15 each)

    This is the proper procedure for TESC (SO much slower than Excelsior)
    I have again asked their MIS dept to look into the Transcript Transfer Program through CompTIA
