The importance of university credits;
1. Credits are used to calculate students' learning volume, which is a symbol of students' completion of their studies. Each course has certain credits, and only by passing the exam of this course can you get the corresponding credits.
2. The credit system has created more flexibility for students. Only when the credits are accumulated to the professional requirements can students graduate. During school, if students' credits fail to meet the requirements, they will not get graduation certificates and degree certificates. Therefore, the credit system allows students to choose the courses they want to study within a certain range, graduate early or minor in other majors and degrees.
3. Credits can judge the breadth of knowledge students have learned during their college years. The more credits students get, the more things they learn. In some universities, credits have also become an important criterion for evaluating students' Excellence.
