Explanation:
In many education systems, you can obtain a higher qualification gradually, over some period of time, by collecting 'credits' if you successfully complete a number of small 'course modules'; by collecting these 'credits', you can eventually get enough to earn you major qualification, like say a degree, etc.

These 'credits' are abbit like the tokens used in certain kinds of gambling, where at the end of your play, you can exchange them for real money; also, a bit like the KudoZ points system on here!

neutral  Yvonne Gallagher: yes, to explanation but "point/token" not synonyms for "credit"

  -> Not close synonyms, no — but I was trying to give Asker as wide as possible an over view of the general idea.
agree  Tina Vonhof (X): Good explanation and in some countries they are indeed called (study) points.

  -> Thanks, Tina! Yes, I felt it was probably the expalantion that was going to be most important here.

  -> To quote Wikipedia on this matter: "Course credit = often credit hour, or just credit or "unit"." To be honest, I've never heard or used "unit" either, but as it is kind of a measurement unit, I felt it might be a proper use in this context as well.
