Are you using Python 3? If not, Student should explicitly inherit from object.

Your requirements specify firstName and lastName, not first_name and last_name.

All of the function definitions below __init__ need to be dedented one
level. You have them defined in __init__.

'first' isn't defined. You named the parameter "first_name".

Neither is 'last' defined.

Neither is 'credit' defined. Plus this method creates a new attribute
named NumCredits. The name in __init__ is numCredits.

The __str__ method absolutely needs to return a string. Use string
formatting via 'format' or the old modulo formatting.
