I noticed the college catalog says 3 credits for an MCSE 2003 but ACE says 3 upper and 3 lower for a total of 6. Anyone gotten credit for MCSE? Did you get 3 or 6 credits or more? What courses were you awarded?

That depends on your background, intelligence, motivation, commitment to studying and willingness to purchase equipment for labbing.
Microsoft exams are difficult in part due to their wordiness and intentionally misleading questions. You'd also need to take multiple tests for one credential. For example, Enterprise Desktop Administrator is 2 tests. Enterprise Administrator is 5. Consider it would take 2-3 months of prep time per test (shorter depending on your relevant experience), and you're talking about 6+ months for just 2 credits and it'd be more time efficient to just take a class. OTOH, the certs are a better ROI for actually working in the industry.

Are you saying that you received 7 credits for each of those certs applicable to two courses, or did you have to pick one of those courses to apply credit to? If the former, then I think I found how I will be addressing my CIS credits! I have been saving those for last because I wasn't sure how to address those credits without putting my butt in a seat somewhere.
