course credit

Graduation requirement unit

Course credit is the unit by which academic progress is measured, representing successful completion of a class or requirement.

Students accumulate credits toward graduation: I need twelve more credits to finish my degree.

A course may also count as credit toward a specific requirement: This class gives you science credit.

To take something for credit means enrolling formally rather than auditing.
