How many Credit Units will I earn for my certifications? WGU

I was wondering how many CUs I will get for my certifications. I currently hold, A+, Sec+, MCP (70-272). I am scheduled to take my C|EH and CCNA in June and I expect to pass. The enrollment counselor told me that I they could not give me transfer CU credit for the certification if I take it after I begin. So I am trying to see if it would be just better to start after I get my CCNA Certification. Can anyone tell me How many CUs I would most likely earn If I wait/what classes I won't have to take?

Why not give them a call and get it straight from the horses mouth as they say?

I did. The enrollment counsellor told me that WGU does not give unofficial reports on how many CUs I will have when I start.

Most certifications are 6, but I think CEH and Sec+ may overlap depending on the program you take. So probably 6 for A+, 6 for Sec+, 6 for one Microsoft cert and 6 for CCNA.

My best guess would be:

A+ - IT Fundamentals 2 and 3 - 8cr
Sec+/CEH - Security Fundamentals and Security - 7cr
MCP 70-272 - Nothing because it is Windows XP but might be able to argue Windows OS Fundamentals - 3cr
CCNA - Fundamentals of Interconnecting Network Devices and Interconnecting Network Devices - 6cr
or Network Fundamentals and Networks - 7cr
Depends on what track you take. So You could get anywhere from 21cr-25cr depending on what the focus is and if you can argue away the OS Fund class.

This document is getting a little dated now, but look at https://kb.wgu.edu/utility/getfile.aspx?rid=1021 - it is bound to be pretty close.

Don't forget, not all classes apply to all degrees.
