credit

In education, a system of evaluating courses so that a partial qualification or unit from one institution is accepted by another on transfer to complete a course. At US universities and colleges, the term also refers to the number of units given upon successful completion of a course.

Credit transferability is common in higher education in the USA, and is just beginning to be developed between institutions in the UK.
