This is just a quick survey article, but it's worth taking note. "No matter what type of alternative credential students are earning, most institutions don't retain official information about it. In a recent survey, just a third of institutions (38 percent) that offer alternative credentials said they allow those to be represented on students' university records." It makes sense, though, that universities would want to privilege their flagship offering, the university degree. These days, doing anything less represents a threat. Here's a link to the survey (it was behind a spamwall, though, so no guarantee that it will still work).
