Jobs: Three-Letter Acronyms and Diplomas

I'm trying to update my Jobillico profile, and need to nail down which three-letter acronym (TLA) to use to describe my diplomas from Algonquin College. What's the international, anglophone TLA best suited as a substitute for "OCD" (Ontario College Diploma)?

Internationally, I don't think Ontario is a significant aspect of your diploma status. I'd venture Diploma of Collegial Studies, which is a translation of the Quebec DEC -- Diplôme d'Études Collégiales. Ergo, DCS. Otherwise you could try Algonquin College Diploma (ACD). Neither option is great as it would look like you're just making stuff up on your application.
