I used to cheat the credit system by taking mind-blowingly easy exams from management courses (they're literally all the same) or from business studies (half of them are like maths for dummies). Weird minor courses were extra fun, and sometimes actually interesting to do read a book for.
Zero studying, just sign up for the course if it doesn't have an attendance requirement, take the test, free credit! Sometimes you could even shape those wildly unrelated courses into a Minor, which I how I have 4 minors on my diploma (1 normal one, 3 Frankenminors I assembled myself out of whatever I had already).
I used to do that with a few friends, and we almost got in trouble once for telling the truth ("no, showing up to class isn't mandatory and we're pretty sure we can pass the exam with zero effort"). There were zero rules against this, and the only harm was to the professor's egos, but I did get several stern talkings to.
One year I only had a single evening course... I used this technique too.
The only downside is the reoccurring nightmares where I forgot to graduate.
