New Batch of Microsoft Exams are now ACE(data, cloud, cs, UL)
#1
Information 
  • AI 102 3 UL computer science
  • SC 200 3 LL cloud security
  • AZ 700 3 UL cloud management
  • DP 300 3 UL relational database administration
  • DP 203 3 UL data engineering
  • MB 920 3 UL information technology
  • MB 910 3 UL information technology
  • SC 900 3 UL cloud security

Also some office suite certs(1 LL computer applications each): It's actually funny that SC 900, a fundamentals exam would be UL while SC 200 is LL. Either way, Microsoft exams are fairly inexpensive and these are some great options for some people.

Also, it should be noted that Microsoft often offers opportunities to take some of these exams at a steep discount or even free.

From my conversations with TESU's registrar, it appears that most/all of these will come in as X99 special topics credits. As I found with some previous Microsoft certifications, TESU views these as too Microsoft-specific and not truly equivalent to their courses. I recently finished SC900, and it was evaluated as CYB-399 Special Topics in Cybersecurity.

Further info from the TESU registrar: 
The dean's office just reviewed more of these exams and determined the following equivalencies: 
SC-900: CYB-399
SC-200: CYB-299
AZ-700: CYB-399
Unfortunately, TESU views nearly all current Microsoft certifications as too focused on proprietary systems and not equivalent to their related cybersecurity or IT courses. Because TESU's cybersecurity degree has no room for these special topics electives, they're not particularly useful. 
I'm guessing that the remainder of the exams from the OP will come in as ITS-X99, CIS-X99, or CYB-X99 special topics credits, according to their ACE recommended level and area.
