Microsoft certifications = free electives? - robstand - 08-18-2014

I am very fortunate in that one of my company benefits is free vouchers for Microsoft certifications. I was thinking of using this benefit to knock out a bunch of free electives and possibly some degree plan credits as well. There are tons of easy certification exams that will transcribe to credit, according to the ACE website. If I take all these exams and add them to my ACE transcript, what do you think I can expect from TESC? Would these count (at least) as free electives?

For what it's worth, these are easier for me than the CLEP exams, so I'm thinking I could take advantage of this. What are your thoughts?
