credit hours

שעות שבועיות refers to "weekly hours", with each weekly hour constituting one "credit hour" for the course. E.g., an course that meets three hours per week provides three credit hours to the student.
Example sentence:

"Normally, one credit hour is associated with a class meeting for 50 minutes per week for an entire semester."

course credit

it is true that in Hebrew you say
שעות שבועיות
but this is a standard usually used to specify the number of credits the student will get for the course, since students are required to study a specified number of credits.
In most western countries the term is simply "course credit"
