These seem like big changes with all the certifications included. I'm surprised that CompTIA Network+ and Security+ certifications will count for credit in the master's degree.

Yup I've been tracking the changes and it looks like I'll be guinea pigging the new curriculum when I enrol this year. On the interesting side, it looks like I'll be transferring like half of it in since I have all of those certs except CISM and I'm sitting for CISSP in a month or 2.

Has anyone found a specific conversion table for the certificates to credits? For example, which graduate course would Network+ be replacing?

Full details haven't been released yet. They're supposed to officially announce the degree changes(and other degree changes) this coming week so stand by and we'll get more info. 

The following are good references for what certs transfer(when they get updated):

Thank you for the update! Patiently waiting for the transfers page to reflect the new courses. That may take some time...
