I do not recall this issue being discussed in detail on this forum, but there was a lengthy discussion about a similar issue on another forum:
Certs credit and Master degree
This was about IT Certs and a specific graduate program, and I have no idea if it got resolved satisfactorily. He has an accredited degree, but this program was picky about some of the credits. I am not sure why he was not allowed take more credits after the fact to meet their prerequisites, like is offered for MBA programs. Other programs might have offered a probationary acceptance. I hope it worked out well.
The policies at the Big 3 are so flexible that it is important to check with your grad school of choice to make sure you will meet their requirements and prerequisites for admission.
