Percredit

Percredit is a term used in several domains to denote something calculated, charged, or accumulated on a per-credit basis. There is no universal standard definition; the precise meaning depends on the context in which it is used.

In higher education, tuition is commonly billed on a per-credit-hour basis. A credit typically equates to a unit of student workload, often reflecting a combination of in-class time and outside study. Degree and certificate programs specify a required number of credits for graduation, giving institutions flexibility to admit part-time students and to adjust workloads.

In digital services, training platforms, and some professional programs, per-credit pricing may be employed. Users purchase credits that are redeemed for courses, modules, or access time. Pricing is expressed as a rate per credit and can vary by course level, delivery method, or institution.

Because credit systems differ across countries, institutions, and programs, the value of a credit, the method of calculating per-credit charges, and the credits required for completion can vary widely. Some jurisdictions regulate credit hours and tuition differently, influencing how percredit pricing and credit requirements are implemented in practice.
