credits (TeachingRecord.credits) is a field stored on each teaching record record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a Int value and is part of the teaching record record's data. The credits field belongs to the teaching record it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set credits while working with that TeachingRecord record. Because credits is part of the TeachingRecord record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the teaching record.
