This could mean many different things. It could mean someone has “no credits” in a situation where credits are a form of currency like credit with a mobile phone. It could mean a business doesn’t accept credit cards only cash. It could be referring to someone having a poor credit score in terms of their credit card and loan use.

In the context of school?

It means they want to be paid immediately. In old times, shops would extend "credit" to their customers. The customer would say they would pay when it was convenient, normally at the end of the month, and the store would believe them. I want to say this stopped happening in the 1950s or something, but I've not studied the issue.

Context needed First thought is cash and debit accepted but not credit cards

At a store it means they need full payment immediately. On a school assignment it means that the submission will not be counted towards the grade, usually because it is late, incomplete, inappropriate, or plagiarized In most other contexts it means that someone did not receive credit, recognition or acknowledgement in their role towards causing or creating something.

Aside from the credit card use, Credit can also mean saying who made something and where it came from. So saying something has "no credit" can mean it doesn't say where it came from when it should. You mostly see it in this context related to people reposting things online, but you might also see it in terms of citations on essays or artwork with unknown creators. Credit can also mean points or praise especially with homework or projects. So if you got no credit on your English homework, that means you didn't get any points. Normally it has a subtext of being invalid, not just wrong. You can also give someone no credit more metaphorically. "I give him no credit for my success" means you think he contributed nothing to your success. This is teaching me that credit is a very flexible concept.

In school, "credit" is your points/grade (if you're behind you could do extra credit to make up your grade and try to pass) so "no credit" in that case means a score of 0. "Credit" also can mean acknowledgement of effort or participation, so one person may do all the work but get "no credit" if someone else tried to pass off the work as their own. Edit: off not of.

It can mean a lot of things depending on what you mean by credit.

It might mean they only accept cash, but without context there's no way to know because it could mean many things.

“To credit someone “ means you’ve recognized them for something they’ve done. “I got no credit for fixing his car”.

In the bank no money, in a context in which for example you used something I made like a song/picture and don't mention me on links or anything else you didn't give me credit, but it has more meanings I think
