Advanced standing would not be given for MSCE (NT).
Oracle DBA and MCSD may be given similar status to the CISCO CCNA and MCSE (W2000) but only when offered at the School of ITEE and after the initial CISCO CCNA and MCSE certification courses have been trialled.
The list of certificates and providers will be regularly reviewed and certificates must be current at the time of graduation.
