* The specific institution: High schools, colleges, and universities all have different credit requirements. A community college will have different requirements than a four-year university.
* The major/program of study: Some majors require more credits than others (e.g., engineering often requires more credits than a humanities major).
* Individual circumstances: Some institutions might allow students to graduate with slightly fewer credits if they have completed specific advanced coursework or have exceptional circumstances.
To find the specific credit requirement, you would need to specify the institution the student attended.
